Home Page The Virginia region website was created to provide information about events and activities pertaining to the Virginia region, such as the spring VAR, conservation, and activities of the VAR. The VAR website also has a Bulletin Board where area cavers, grottos, organizations can post messages on the site. The Bulletin Board is a good way to get a message out about activities that may involve several grottos, such as cleanups, surveying trips or anything else of interest to the Virginia region. |
