MAKC Preserves<\/h2>\nHere are the basics of our preserves, managed caves and our library and education center. Many people go right to the permit request without reading the management plan. After you submit the request, there will be a test on the management plan! (Only kidding.) Please read the plan first. <\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
