A wide variety of plant species live in the park. To help protect these plants and ensure their continued existence, visitors are expected to: Look, smell, or touch gently to appreciate the plant and learn more about it. Picking, cutting, collecting or removing any plant material is prohibited. Those actions threaten the health and survival of individual plants and entire ecosystems, including the wildlife living here. Bring your own firewood and roasting sticks with you. Even dead plant materials fulfill an important function in a healthy ecosystem. They provide food and shelter for other plants and for animals. As the dead materials decompose, they add nutrients to the soil that new plants will need to survive. Use existing paved and shale trails. People walking off-trail can kill the plants. If the area is sloped, erosion will occur because there are no plant roots to hold the soil in place. |
