Bob and Texas Cavers,

Are you aware of our book, Cave Conservation and Restoration? The text presents 
46 different speleologists as contributors and all content is peer-reviewed. 
The book continues to define state-of-the-art current best practices in cave 
conservation, management, restoration, and repair … including several chapters 
on various aspects of inventory and ID of historic and cultural markings, 
project planning and documentation, as well as cave-safe, habitat friendly 
techniques for removing contemporary graffiti.

Hildreth-Werker V, Werker JC, editors. 2006. Cave Conservation and Restoration. 
Huntsville, Alabama: National Speleological Society. xiv+ 600 p. [For every 
decision related to a cave, the foremost concern should be the perpetuation of 
speleological processes, values, and resources. Contains a wealth of detail 
from 46 contributors describing tools and methods for cave conservation, 
restoration, and speleothem repair.]  ISBN 1-879961-15-6
Available through the NSS bookstore, Speleobooks, Amazon, and other book 
vendors.  (The volume was honored by the NSS and Australia with several

Can anybody point me in the right direction to find any Policies and Procedures 
regarding Graffiti removal in caves. 

I have searched the NSS website with no luck. The best I could find is...
https://caves.org/committee/conservation/restoration.shtml 
<https://caves.org/committee/conservation/restoration.shtml>

There are times when landowners & local or state Govts might come to the Texas 
caving community (TSA - TCMA - TSS or the many Grottos) to request our help 
with graffiti in their caves.

I would like to have information to give to them and if possible offer 
assistance on removing the graffiti in a manner that has been tried, tested and 
works best for the cave environment.

You might want to ask Val if she would be willing to hold a graffiti removal 
workshop in Texas.

At a minimum, you should have a copy of her book, Cave Conservation and 
Restoration, available via the NSS bookstore:
