Protecting Caves
Take Nothing but Pictures!
Leave Nothing but Footprints!
Kill Nothing but Time!
Cave Conservation is a very important part of cave exploring and show cave visitation. Caves are very fragile and it could take thousands of years if ever, to repair any damage caused by careless cavers and visitors. Also, there are laws in all states that make it illegal to damage or remove anything that is in the cave including formations, any animals that you may encounter while in a cave, or any of the other parts of the cave that is in its’ natural state.
Educate your Students!
Many caves of the NCA offer educational programs to students, scout troops and more! Contact our Director for a list of caverns that offer these programs.
