There are many benefits to the County’s natural spaces, and it’s up to all of us to protect it. Our trails are vital habitats for animals, plants, and pollinators. By taking care of these spaces, we can keep them safe and enjoyable for everyone, now and in the future. Here’s how you can help:
The importance of caring for our trails:

Trail rules to follow:

- Be careful near edges: Keep away from eroded areas to avoid danger.
- Respect trail closures: Trails close to protect people and nature.
- Carry out your trash: Use garbage bins or take your trash home.
