Superintendent's message:


What would we do without Friends?

The Friends of Mammoth Cave National Park are a great help to the park, and I encourage you to join up and be a Friend, too.
Our Friends add a margin of excellence to the park and increase the stewardship of the caves, forests, rivers, and rugged karst terrain of Mammoth Cave. They help us find and build new partnerships to fund a wide variety of park programs and research. They get kids into the woods and into the cave by funding bus transportation to schools that could not afford a fieldtrip without the Friends’ help.

We are grateful to have Friends like the members of the Friends of Mammoth Cave National Park. The Friends provide a means to accept donations to further the park’s educational efforts and research. The Friends recruit volunteers who donate their sweat-equity in the park’s resource protection projects.
It’s good to have Friends.
