Southeastern Cave Conservancy, Inc.

Frick's Cave Management Plan

Adopted 18 May 1997, revised 16 August 1997

The purpose of the SCC Frick's Cave Preserve is to protect the habitat of endangered and threatened animal species which inhabit the cave. The cave and property are therefore not considered recreational sites and will have very limited and carefully managed access. Primary consideration will be given to the protection and preservation of the cave and its inhabitants.

1. The cave is closed to all access with the exception of access required for wildlife management, scientific study, and/or stewardship and conservation work. Such access will be by specific permission of the Board and will be made under the supervision of the property manager. The Board will consider other access in the future after an assessment has been made of the impact of such access on the cave and its inhabitants.
   
   
2. The surface property will be open as a day use area only. Vehicles, bicycles, and horses are limited to existing roads and designated parking areas. Due to the small size of the property and the proximity of houses, hunting will not be allowed. Camping or other use may be allowed only by specific permission of the Frick's Cave Management Team.
   
   
3. There will be no construction or other alteration of the natural state of the property except as necessary to maintain the property and the access road. Existing structures may be repaired or maintained but will not be extended or expanded.
