Deadly Bat Fungus Threat Looms Large at Caving Convention

National Speleological Society

Cavers from across the U.S. are in Glenwood Springs this week for the National Speleological Society Convention. One topic of fierce debate at this year’s event is how to curb the spread of a deadly bat fungus to the West. KUNC’s Grace Hood sat down with Erin O’Toole to explain how the topic has gone from discussion to litigation in the state.

As the host of KUNC’s new program and podcast In the NoCo, I work closely with our producers and reporters to bring context and diverse perspectives to the important issues of the day. Northern Colorado is such a diverse and growing region, brimming with history, culture, music, education, civic engagement, and amazing outdoor recreation. I love finding the stories and voices that reflect what makes NoCo such an extraordinary place to live.
