This grant supports ongoing scientific investigations focused on Last Canyon Cave, situated within the critical ecological zones of Montana’s Pryor Mountain area and the broader Bighorn Basin. The primary purpose of this funding is to advance our understanding of subterranean environments, including the unique geological formations, hydrological systems, and potential for biodiversity discovery or paleoclimatic records found within the cave. Researchers will conduct detailed mapping, environmental monitoring, and sample collection to unravel the cave’s long-term history and its current ecological dynamics. This project aims to contribute valuable data to speleological science, enhancing conservation efforts and knowledge of these significant natural resources in the region. The findings will be crucial for managing and protecting these fragile underground ecosystems.
