The Butler Cave Conservation Society (BCCS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Virginia corporation dedicated to the conservation, exploration, survey, preservation, and scientific study of the caves and karst in and around Burnsville Cove, Virginia. [1]
The BCCS currently owns five preserves in Bath and Highland counties totaling 177.65 acres (0.7189 km2). The preserves protect the entrances to Butler Cave, Bobcat Cave, Robins Rift, and other smaller caves in the Burnsville Cove. The preserves also protect the Steamer Hole Sink, the Glacier Dig Sink, and other karst features. As of January 2015, Butler Cave is the 40th longest cave in the United States, and the Chestnut Ridge Cave system (including Bobcat Cave) is the 30th longest cave in the US.[2]
The BCCS assists the landowners of Breathing Cave and the Water Sinks Karst Preserve to assure caver access to these resources.[3][4]
The Burnsville Cove has been designated a Significant Karst Area by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.

The BCCS is an affiliated cave conservancy of the National Speleological Society.[7]
