Outdoor Ethics

When visiting the Forest at this time we ask that you please do your part and follow these health and safety guidelines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19

• Do not visit recreation areas if you are sick
• Look for alternative sites if an area or trail is crowded. Limit your group size
• Maintain social distancing of 6 feet from other people
• While on trails alert others of your presence. Step aside to let others pass at a safe distance.
• Park in designated areas
• Wear a mask
• Bring enough water and supplies to sustain your visit

Manage your trash responsibly: carry it in your backpack until you find a trash can or recycling container outside of the forest.

Admire, touch, and enjoy its fragrance, if possible, leaving everything you find along the way in its place.

Walk and/or camp only in designated areas.

Protect wildlife by keeping your distance.
