As a non-profit organization, all facility rental opportunities at Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center must fall within our mission of inspiring a lifetime of protecting nature. For this reason, we require you to accept and acknowledge the below terms before your request to host an event at Westcave can be processed:

• I understand that first and foremost, Westcave Preserve is a nature preserve and has federally protected endangered species. Westcave also protects many rare, endemic and fragile flora and fauna. It is also a geological gem that is a beautiful, sensitive and fragile area that can be damaged by off trail activity and other disruptive activities.

• I understand that all regular preserve rules apply, including that:

• I will not bring animals of any kind to Westcave.

• I will not swim, wade, or make contact of any kind with any water at Westcave.

• I will not bring food, gum, or drinks except bottled drinking water onto the trails.

• I will not start fires, set off fireworks, smoke, use smoke making devices, or use stoves anywhere on the property at Westcave.

• I will not collect or disturb natural materials.

• I will not bring any glass bottles or containers onto the trails.

• During Golden-cheeked Warbler season (March - July), I will not be unnecessarily loud

• All people involved with a Facility Rental will stay on marked trails. I understand that Westcave staff has a zero-tolerance policy for off trail activity of any kind, including but not limited to: people, props, gear, lighting equipment, tripods, rigging, etc.

• I agree that if Westcave staff determine wildlife is being impacted by any aspect of the event, I will immediately stop the event and stop the disruptive activity. *I understand that Facility Rental packages are limited to a maximum of 65 people (not including Westcave staff) at one time.

• I understand that Facility Rentals are weather permitting and that staff may not be able to reschedule my event if inclement weather prevents the event from occurring on my scheduled date(s).

• I understand that all equipment delivery prior to an event must be scheduled with Westcave staff and are subject to approval and availability.

• I understand that other restrictions may apply. If additional restrictions apply to my request, I understand they will be determined during the confirmation process for my booking.

• I understand if I, or any member of my party, does not follow any of the rules stated above a Westcave staff member reserves the right to correct the violation and/or evict individuals or groups from premises, at any time.

• I understand that if I am asked to leave Westcave for any reason related to my violation of this agreement, my event package deposit will become a non-refundable fine and I may be charged additional fees.
