A Google search will reveal the long history behind the
caving career of Meredith Hall Weberg. Her imprint is sprinkled all over the
caving community and reveals a long-standing dedication to serve - especially
as an advocate for cave conservation. Here are some of the things the EWLS team
found: Meredith was the former president of BATS Grotto and the editor of the
2003 NSS Speleo Digest. She is an integral member of the Virginia Cave Board
and the NSS Virgina Region (VAR), where she wore and continues to wear hats
such as the Virginia Cave Board Education Committee Chairperson and the VAR
Conservation Co-Chair. She has served the VAR in many capacities, organizing conservation
projects such as the 2015 VAR Easter Restoration Weekend, and organizing VAR
Meetings, such as the 2015 Spring VAR. She is the former editor of the BATS
News and a regular contributor to many other speleo-publications including the
Blue Ridge Grotto's Carbide Dump and The New River Valley Grotto's Mudslinger.
In 2004, she received an NSS Fellow award in recognition for her contributions
to the NSS and to the broader caving community, and in 2009, she received a TRA
Fellow award for her contributions to The Robertson Association. #ewls
