Plan Ahead for a Safe and Pleasant Visit

• Consider the length of your hike and the time you have before the Preserve closes at sunset.

• Check the weather and dress accordingly• Select a hike at the ability level of your

group’s least experienced member.• Help prevent plant damage and erosion:

Stay on marked trails.• Help Keep Wildlife Wild! It is important to

remember to please treat bears and other wildlife with respect and caution. - Bears that lose their natural fear of humans may have to be destroyed. - Make your presence known. Talk, sing, clap hands, or call out to alert bears to your presence. - Do NOT try to interact with an animal by offering food or approaching it. Allow the animal to go about its regular routine undisturbed. - Stay with your gear. Do NOT leave packs, food, or beverages unattended.
