The Brabson Family Foundation has generously granted ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum $18,000 toward the design and construction of an updated cave exhibit highlighting the importance of our native Oregon cave systems. The proposal is to renovate our current cave space to improve safety and accessibility by leveling the floor and updating the displays. The new exhibit will focus more closely on the unique geology and biodiversity of our region’s caves, helping visitors connect with the natural wonders of Southern Oregon.
