Here's a link to a Tennessee's Wild Side Video about the most recent cave gating of Hubbard's CaveHubbard's Cave From Episode 1201 " Hidden beneath the lush Tennessee landscape is a world of intriguing beauty and unique creatures. We’re talking about caves, places where mystery and history come together to create amazing scenery and stories. And where often the interests of man and nature clash. That’s why there is cave gating. The barring of cave entrances to protect endangered animals from intrusions by man has already been credited with saving species across the country. One example is Hubbard’s Cave near McMinnville. There, you’ll find one of the world’s largest cave gates and a success story that gives hope to future generations of the gray bat. Wild Side Guide Alan Griggs takes us deep into the woods where shadowy figures are hard at work. Hubbard’s cave is only open from mid-May to September first and you must seek permission before entering. Learn more by visiting www.nature.org, home of The Nature Conservancy. In the search space on the home page, type in Hubbard’s Cave. Also, be sure to check out www.state.tn.us/environment/nh/natareas/hubbards. " For more Information: Re-gating Hubbards Cave
