Leave No Trace Principles (from NPS)
Help protect Acadia’s plants, animals, and natural and cultural resources.
• Stay on the trail to protect fragile plant life.
• Leave what you find. Take what you bring.
• Don’t approach or feed wild animals.
• Respect wildlife closures to allow for successful nestings of peregrines, loons, seabirds, and eagles.
• Slow down and watch for wildlife along roadsides, near dusk and dawn.
• Be considerate to others–let natural sounds prevail and limit your group size.
• Tidepool habitats and animals are fragile. Handle them with care and leave them where you find them.
