You may have arrived at this page via a trail sign that looks something like:

Big signs with lots of words are a drag when you’re hurrying past, but there’s plenty more to say, and things can change quickly. If we were to put a long list of rules on our welcome signs, they might say (mostly common sense) things like:

• Be safe, both personally and with regard to others around you.
• Heed trail signs.
• Tread lightly; be gentle to the soil and the foliage. We have a lot of severely eroded areas to rehabilitate, and in many areas the tree cover is lacking. We want to solve old problems without creating new ones.
• Leave nature as you find it; do not collect or harvest materials.
• Pack your trash out. For bonus points pack additional trash out.
• Get written permission prior to building trails, or work directly with groups engaged in approved trail building/maintenance activities. There is ample opportunity to work on the trails, but we want the results as a whole to be cohesive, diverse, and maintainable.
• Educate others about acceptable use. Be polite, try to make friends rather than enemies.
• Report incidents of prohibited activities, abuse, vandalism, etc.
• Have fun!
