Karst Conservancy of Illinois Current Projects

Twin Culvert Project

Pautler Nature Preserve Project

The largest project taken on by the organization to date has been Pautler Cave, located in Monroe Co. Efforts of the conservancy have resulted in this cave entrance along with three acres of wooded land being dedicated as an Illinois Nature Preserve.

The survey of Pautler Cave is still ongoing. If you are interested in participating, please contact Don Coons.

These are recent photos from work done at Pautler Cave:
