2. Since you will be visiting rich natural areas, you will encounter many types of plants, and animals, on land and in the water, some of which may be dangerous or poisonous to humans. It is your responsibility to learn about the environment you’ll be visiting, and how to avoid natural threats, especially in areas inhabited by large carnivores.

3. You must help keep these areas beautiful by packing out everything you bring in, including garbage.

4. You will be enjoying the outdoors in all kinds of weather, from bright sun to snowy conditions. Be sure to check the weather before heading out and dress appropriately for the conditions.

5. Black flies/mosquitoes and other biting/stinging insects may pose a problem at certain times of the year.

6. Many of the habitats on Nature Conservancy of Canada property are ecologically sensitive, be aware of your impact, do not pick flowers, avoid crushing plants and do not feed or harass wildlife.

7. Some NCC properties are fenced and use cattle or other livestock for grazing. These animals may be unpredictable, refrain from approaching or harassing.
