DESCRIPTION:Ellen Trautner is a cave specialist employed by federal land ma
 nagement agencies to manage and protect cave resources on public land. She
  wrote an article for Philanthropic Educational Organization Record that d
 etailed her recruitment of small\, thin female cavers to access and survey
  a portion of Carlsbad Caverns that could be reached only by a very small 
 opening. She commented\, "It felt great to be an inspiration to other aspi
 ring cavers and show them what a team of women can accomplish working toge
 ther." After assisting a Girl Scout troop in a cave formation repair proje
 ct\, Trautner said\, "I was able to introduce a group of young women to ca
 ving and got the satisfaction of doing a service project with others." Tra
 utner is unable to attend the "Cultures in Caving" session in person but h
 as given her permission for discussion of the article.
