Funding for visitor services is used for interpretive park rangers to guide visitors through the caves and explain the natural and cultural resources, and to provide evening interpretive programs. The visitor protection and safety program provides law enforcement and emergency medical services. Resource management efforts will continue work on understanding and reducing human impacts throughout the cave in order to assure preservation of the delicate cave environment. Efforts to restore disturbed land and control invasive plants along the cave trail and in the Swinging Bridge picnic area will continue. Most maintenance operations in the monument are routine and include maintenance of grounds, the potable water supply system, waste water disposal systems, buildings, parking areas, and hazard tree removal.
