Congress felt that caves were important enough to enact the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988. The purpose of the Act is to secure, protect, and preserve significant caves on Federal Lands for the benefit of all people. The Antelope Spring Cave has been vandalized extensively in recent years through the destruction of natural cave features, deposition of litter, and Wednesday, October 30, 1996 Scout groups entering the cave would be required to follow the fourteen caving standards listed in the scouting manual. The following people and organizations gave hours of hard work and financial support for this project: Larry Martin, Dale Green, Kristy Snow, Hal Smith, Earl Petersen, Paul Kemp, Stew Adler, James Richmond-Hopthe National Fish and Wildlife Federation, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and Bat Conservation International.
