With
an overall mission to provide opportunities for citizens to study nature through participation in a biological inventory of
Chatauqua Creek Gorge. The Cabin at the Gorge is also offered to all educational institutions as a biological field station.
In addition to the CATG grounds there is direct access to Chautauqua Creek Gorge and state forest, along with the consent
of neighboring land owners there are several hundred acres of forest, meadow and riparian environments to explore and research.
CATG will offer classes and workshops associated with study of biodiversity or assist visiting educators with their pre-planned
agendas. The CATG is available for day field trips, weekend workshops or longer term intensive classes or research.

The
Cabin at the Gorge is intended to become the base camp of the Chautauqua Alleghany Biodiversity INventory (CABIN). This privately
funded ATBI (All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory) is being modeled after Discover Life In America's ATBI currently being conducted in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. With the help and support of academic institutions,
membership contributions and citizen volunteers this ambitious project will provide many years of naturalist learning experiences
for students of all ages and educational levels.
