This project has been ongoing since 2003 and has involved:
- modification to the sinkhole to create amore natural entrance conditions to enhance species habitat,
- re-landscaping the sinkhole and property to remove exotic vegetation and restore native plants,
- promoting educational use of the entrance area,
- correcting and improving conditions at Robber Baron Cave that TCMA inherited from the previous owner,
- and more than 3200 combined volunteer hours, $12,000 in donations, and $16,500 in grants.

WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!  Plan to come to one of the remained work days and help us make the final push to finish this project and then plan to come and celebrate its completion!
