Respect Wildlife during Your Outdoor Adventure

By -
Wildlife live in the places we love to visit like the national forests, national parks, and nature reserves. During our visit to their home, we need to be respectful of their space and eating habits, so as to protect wildlife from disease and protect you from physical harm.

Whether you are camping, hiking, boating, or picnicking, it is extremely important that you NEVER FEED WILDLIFE. This is important for several reasons:

1. Wildlife gets accustom to receiving food from humans and begins to expect it. This can cause wildlife to be aggressive and sometimes violent.

2. It is harmful to the animals’ digestive system.

3. Interrupts wildfowl migration cycle

 4. Keep Wildlife Wild – do not feed them!


When camping….
Avoid attracting wildlife to your campsite by following these tips:

1. Keep food in airtight containers

2. Keep food out of reach of wildlife – keep locked up in vehicle

3. Do not feed wildlife!

4. Keep food out of your tent


While wildlife viewing…
Keep the animals and yourself safe by following these tips while viewing wildlife:

1. Do not touch wildlife – some species parents will reject their kids if they have been touched by humans

 2. Do not approach wildlife

3. Keep a safe distance away

4. Keep your pets away from wildlife and keep them up-to-date on vaccines – pets and humans can transmit disease to wildlife

Do your part to keep wildlife wild and yourself safe!

LEAVE NO TRACE!
