The national White Nose Syndrome Response Team has updated their guidelines for WNS decontamination procedures. Cavers should follow these new decontamination procedures whenever visiting any Colorado caves. More information about WNS can be found at the WNS Response Team web pages.
WNS, and the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) that causes it, still have not been detected in Colorado, although it has reached many neighboring states and is killing bats across much of the rest of the country. Please help us keep Colorado Pd free!
