Hiker Etiquette
- Sempervirens Fund hikes are group hikes. Our
docents feel responsible for the safety of
our guests. Please stay with the group,
and respect the directions of the hike leader
and hike sweep.
- Our docents will talk a bit to interpret
what you are seeing. For many, this is a social
occasion. For others, this is a time for reflection.
You share one of the most unique environments
on earth.
- Don't ever litter. Whatever you bring with
you should return with you.
- Stick to the trail. It'll keep you safe and
help protect the natural environment.
- Leave everything as you found it. It
is illegal to disturb plants or wildlife in most
areas we’ll be hiking, or to remove archaeological
artifacts, dead wood, fossils or other geological
features. If you must carry away a memento of
your visit, make sure it's only a photograph.
