Gateway Communities Collaborate with Park Rangers to Preserve Wildlife and Minimize Impact
Gateway communities play a vital role in spreading park messages and ensuring visitors have a positive experience.
Collaboration with Park Rangers
Rangers are reaching out to their neighbors in gateway communities to seek their support in setting visitor expectations. By working together, they can educate visitors on the importance of respecting wildlife and properly disposing of food to prevent negative encounters.
Less Crowded Areas and Times
Encouraging visitors to explore less crowded areas and visit during off-peak times can help reduce the impact on popular spots and wildlife habitats.
Leave No Trace
One key message emphasized by rangers is to 'Leave No Trace' - this includes not only picking up after oneself but also refraining from defacing natural landscapes with graffiti or other markings. By following these simple guidelines, visitors can enjoy the beauty of the parks while preserving them for future generations.
