The Fierce Green Fire A Newsletter of the Wofford College Environmental Studies Program Volume 14, Issue 14 Caving for Terrestrial Ecology by Alex Burnett ’26  The week prior to going spelunking we learned how different and delicate the ecosystem in a cave is. Many animals that live in caves do not have melanin, because caves are such dark environments. We were able to see this and relate it back to the scientific paper we read when we saw an albino crayfish. The albino crayfish had much longer antennas than crayfish we would see in the river because the cave is completely dark, so it needed to sense the environment without being able to see. Interestingly, we read that it can still use melanization to heal wounds despite being albino! This also related back to our class discussions on adaptions and evolution and how species fill specific roles in the environment (the ecological niche!). At the end of our four-mile hike we were all muddy, wet, and exhausted but this experience is not one that we could have ever had in the classroom. On Sunday, February 25, Dr. Bradham’s Terrestrial Ecology class went to Worley’s Cave in Elizabethton, TN. This experience was one of a kind! Thirteen of us hiked through the cave for about three hours. We saw bats, albino crayfish, and salamanders. This cave was full of history. A long time ago this cave was used for salt mining, so we were able to see spots where they had previously mined. This cave also has the largest flowstone (also known as a curtain) east of the Mississippi! Exploring this cave allowed us to understand how natural and beautiful caves are. No changes have been made to this cave since the mouth of it was blown out for the salt mining. No water or food is allowed in, so the only water we had for the three hours was the water dripping into the cave. We climbed up to different levels of the cave, crawled and rolled through very small spaces, walked through rivers, and slid down many different rocks. Dr. Bradham’s ENVS338 Terrestrial Ecology class spent the day crawling and rolling through small spaces and different levels of Worley’s Cave in Tennessee.      ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The Fierce Green Fire, Vol. 14 Issue 14 March 1, 2024  Upcoming Events and Opportunities PROFILE OF THE WEEK: American University – Environmental & Energy Law Program  American University’s Washington College of Law (WCL) offers Juris Doctor and graduate admissions.
