Timpanogos Cave National Monument Science & Resource Management

Overview

Science and Resource Management at Timpanogos Cave National Monument follows the park’s mission statement, “to preserve the outstanding cave formations, geological processes, and historical values of the Timpanogos Cave System and associated features for the recreational and educational enjoyment, scientific value, and inspiration of this and future generations.” Since the cave is our primary resource, most of our activities focus on cave preservation and protection. Significant time is spent on cave monitoring, research, and restoration.

The Science and Resource Management Division, “cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.” We seek partnerships to enhance the understanding and protection of nation’s cave and karst resources. Since Timpanogos Cave National Monument is the only federally operated cave in Utah, we strive to be the state experts in cave and karst preservation, education, and research.
