These safety tips will help protect the forest and yourself

​Protect the Forest:

• Be aware that the invasive species on the edges can travel on our shoes and clothes and into the vulnerable forest. Check your clothes and shoes for hitchhikers before heading in.
• Please be careful to pack out all food. Human food isn’t healthy for the wildlife.
• Please do not walk on logs, they are often slippery.  They can be soft in the middle and are home to many species.
• Please be aware of where you are walking, we have lots of new plants in the forest.
• Please stay on the trail as much as possible to prevent erosion and impact.

​Protect Yourself:

• Stinging nettle grows well in the forest; please be cautious and aware. 
• Wear proper clothes for the weather, protect arms and legs from bugs and nettles.
• Wear closed toe shoes, waterproof boots are highly recommended.
• Bring a full bottle of water and stay hydrated.
