- **Event Name**: Presentation on the Hidden Life Beneath Our Feet: The Remarkable Biodiversity of Russell Cave 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Russell Cave National Monument is best known for its deep human history, but beneath the surface lies an equally fascinating biological story. This talk explores the diverse community of animals that inhabit the cave—from bats and salamanders to highly specialized invertebrates, and how they are adapted to life in perpetual darkness. Drawing on decades of research and recent discoveries, I will highlight why Russell Cave remains a critical site for understanding subterranean biodiversity and conservation in the southeastern United States.
