Cave Conservation

Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but well placed footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

It is the duty of every Society member to: 

Take personal responsibility for spreading a consciousness of the cave
conservation problem to each potential user of caves. Without this, the
beauty and value of our caves will not long remain with us.
