1. Use already existing campsites and trails to minimize new impact.
2. Do not harass or disturb wildlife. Always view from a safe distance to avoid placing additional stress on the animals. Avoid nesting or denning areas and never feed the wild animals.
3. Whatever you pack in, be prepared to pack out. This includes all left over food, garbage, toilet paper, feminine products, and anything else previous visitors have left behind.
4. Do not pollute the waterways with human waste. Always urinate at least 50 meters away from any open water sources. Any solid waste must be packed out as well in either Tupperware containers, groovers, double bagged bags, or specially designed apparatuses.
5. Before having any fires, ask yourselves “Is this really needed?” If you do decide to have a fire have it below the high tide line, and burn only driftwood.
6. Leave only footprints, take only pictures, and kill nothing but time. Do not take any “souvenirs” from historical sites or natural areas.
7. Use sandy or rocky areas as access points when entering an area and avoid scrambling up open soil or wooded areas.
8. Do not cut any limbs off of living or dead trees and do not pick flowers or plants.
