Oregon Caves Natural History Association

The Oregon Caves Natural History Association (NHA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing educational and scientific activities within Oregon Caves National Monument and Crater Lake National Park.

The NHA invests funds generated from sales of items purchased at our Monument Visitor Center directly back into the Monument, providing services such as publishing Monument-related books and maps, printing the Monument newspaper, and purchasing equipment and materials for educational and scientific research programs.

You can become a member of the NHA and learn more about the Monument's natural and cultural resources. Yearly memberships can be purchased at the Visitor Center on the Monument.  You can find out more by visiting www.craterlakeoregon.org.

This snail was named after an employee of Oregon Cave, not because he was slow but because he wrote the technical description of the snail.  

Did You Know?
There is a snail that lives on the marble rock outcrops of Oregon Caves that has adapted to use the calcium from the rock to make its shell.
