Leave No Trace
You can help protect Bureau of Land Management campgrounds, wilderness areas, and hiking trails by using common sense and following Leave No Trace practices. For example, you should always be cautious when starting fires. In California, you may need a campfire permit, and fires should only be started when the fire danger rating is low. It’s also important to pick up after yourself and properly dispose of any trash. Be polite to other visitors and share trails and camping areas. If you spot wildlife, observe it from a distance, and don’t take any plants, seeds, flowers, or any type of animal or insect home with you.
