CRYSTAL CAVE WHITE-NOSE SYNDROME PROTOCOL: White-nose syndrome is a fungal disease killing bats in North America. It has had the most impact in the eastern half of the United States and in Canada, killing millions of bats. The disease has now been detected in California. People can spread the fungus from one cave to another as it can be carried by shoes, clothing, or gear. If you have visited caves in other parts of the country, you must not wear the same clothing or equipment when visiting Crystal Cave.
