Leave no trace
Seriously, respect nature!
Leave no trace by respecting nature and minimizing your impact on the environment. Stay on marked trails, pack out all garbage (even food scraps), avoid picking plants or disturbing wildlife, and keep noise levels low. Use designated washroom facilities when available, and if nature calls in the backcountry, follow proper guidelines for waste disposal. Practicing Leave No Trace helps preserve the beautiful parks for future generations and ensures wildlife and ecosystems remain healthy and undisturbed.
