Bat Roosting Site Year-Round Closures

Mallory Cave, Harmon Cave, and Seal View Cave are closed year-round to all entry and use-types to reduce the chance of people introducing White-Nose Syndrome.

Female bats locate roosting sites in caves and rock crevices along the foothills, where the pups are raised in maternity colonies. The pups suffer high mortality rates even under normal conditions, so these closures help ensure they will remain undisturbed by humans during roosting season. Thank you for your cooperation!
