Our Parks Pledge: Commit to Responsible Visiting

I pledge to uphold the principles of responsible park visiting, thereby contributing to the sustainability and longevity of our national parks and natural spaces. By making this pledge, I commit to the following:

Respect Nature

  • I will leave natural and cultural features as I found them for others to enjoy.

  • I will not remove plants, rocks, or historical artifacts.

Follow "Leave No Trace" Principles

  • I will pack out everything I bring in.

  • I will dispose of waste properly, including picking up litter that isn't mine.

Observe and Respect Wildlife

  • I will keep a safe distance from animals and will not feed them.

  • I will use binoculars or a camera zoom to get a closer look.

Stay on Designated Trails

  • I will avoid creating new paths or shortcuts to minimize soil erosion and harm to plant life.

Be Considerate of Other Visitors

  • I will keep noise levels down to let everyone enjoy the natural sounds of the park.

  • I will respect public spaces like visitor centers, picnic areas, and campgrounds.

Learn and Follow Park Rules

  • I will take time to read and understand the rules specific to each park I visit.

Share the Message

  •  I will share the importance of responsible park visiting with my friends and family, both in person and on social media.
