• Wildlife viewing is fun and exciting. Please remember to enjoy the animals from a distance. The forest is their home, and we are their guests.
• Ground squirrels and other rodents are cute, but can be diseased, so do not feed them or initiate contact with them.
• Stinging plants and insects are in the area. Bring insect repellent and be aware that insects are attracted to perfumes. Stinging nettle is found in some areas.
