Our nature reserves are special places. Let us work together to keep them pristine and protected. Want to help? With these tips, you can make a difference:
- stay on the beaten track this time
- keep dogs on a leash
- move quietly and talk softly (then you won't disturb the animals)
- bring a rubbish bag (for your own waste but also for litter you see lying around)
- no smoking and no fires
- leave only footprints and take only memories back home
