AllenES was contracted to oversee gate construction at the entrance to the Nanih Waiya Cave outside of Louisville, MS. The gate will keep people out of the cave while still allowing bats to freely exit and enter for foraging and resting purposes. This is part of a larger conservation effort on Choctaw tribal lands.
