The committee also plans to develop and publish a comprehensive report, similar in scope to the Burnsville Cove Bulletin, on the various aspects of the property. Trout Cave will be closed from the day after Labor Day through April 30 for the purpose of protecting the colony of Indiana Bats. Bat counts will be conducted in Trout Cave by qualified census takers at intervals and under conditions recommended by Dr. Merlin Tuttle. A count of at least 100 Myotis sodalis bats will be considered as indicative of the gradual re-establishemnt of a viable colony and indicate that seasonal closure of Trout Cave should continue. A count of less than 100 Myotis sodalis bats will indicate that Trout Cave should be open the entire year.
All parking is to be in the vicinity of the historic marker.
