Etiquette in Bear & Moose Country
To ensure that our tours, events, and programs co-exist peacefully with the wild inhabitants of the garden, a few basic "best practices" apply:
- Stay on clearly-marked and maintained trails
- Never startle, approach, or try to interact with wildlife - give animals plenty of room, and remain "up-wind" so that they are aware of your presence
- On nature trails, please walk in groups and make noise
- Visit ABG gardens and nature trails during daylight hours only
- Report all wildlife sightings to ABG staff
- No food in the Garden, unless pre-approved and supervised by ABG staff, and eaten in a contained space (ABG nursery or JMG areas).
- No food trash in Garden trash receptacles, including gum wrappers, soda cans, etc. - except in specially-constructed bear canisters with ABG staff approval.
