Objectives

The board aims to:

  • Protect the rare, unique and irreplaceable minerals and archaeological resources found in caves.
  • Protect and maintain cave life.
  • Protect the natural groundwater flow in caves from water pollution.
  • Protect the integrity of caves that have unique characteristics or are exemplary natural community types.
  • Make recommendations to interested state agencies concerning any proposed rule, regulation or administrative policy that directly affects the use and conservation of caves in this Commonwealth.
  • Study any matters of special concern relating to caves and karst. (Code of Virginia ยง10.1-1002.B found at Virginia Cave Protection Act)
