  • General Wildlife, Marine & Outdoor Ethics Information


Visitor Safety:
  • Wood ticks are most prevalent between March and June. These parasites reside in tall grass and low shrubbery and seek out warm-blooded hosts. Although they are potential carriers of disease, they are a natural part of the environment and can be easily avoided. Your legs should be protected by wearing trousers tucked into socks or gaiters. After outdoor activity, thoroughly examine yourself. Check your pets for ticks as well.
  • The extreme hot, dry climate can result I over exposure to the sun. Everyone in your party should wear sunscreen of at least SPF 15 and a hat with a brim.
