You can help to take good care of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest
so that others may enjoy it for years to come by practicing some of the
following actions:
- Don't Litter... take along a trash bag or other receptacle for
collecting your trash so that you can deposit it in the proper
trash receptacle.
- Make sure that you are using the correct type of camping equipment
permitted in that area. Check with your destination ahead of time
for seasonal fire or campstove restrictions that may be in place.
- Don't camp in areas where you are not permitted. These areas
have been declared "off limits" to campers to protect
wildlife, vegetation, or for your safety.
- Check with a local Forest District office to see what precautions
need to be taken in regard to storing food away from wildlife.
- Do not feed the local wildlife.
- Take precautions against camping in an area that may be dangerous
in the case of sudden flash floods.
- Check with local Forest Rangers to find a safe and legal camping
area.
- Remember to take along non-perishable food that won't make you
ill if it spoils.
- Be courteous and remember that you are sharing the Gifford Pinchot
National Forest with other campers and recreationists.
- Do not camp on unauthorized areas.
- Bring along extra safety items such as water, flashlights, maps,
and a cellphone or radio.
