Walk on the 'wildlife' side

Our parks and reserves offer beautiful natural environments for you to explore by foot – whether you like to run or walk!

When hiking, running or strolling through our extensive natural environment, there are a couple of things to be mindful of to ensure you are being a considerate trail user:

• stay on designed paths and tracks – don't take shortcuts
• avoid disturbing plants and wildlife
• do not remove anything from our nature reserves – what might seem like just a branch or a rock could be an important part of a thriving ecosystem
• Leave only your footprints behind – make sure to dispose of your rubbish correctly. If there are no bins, take your rubbish with you when you leave.

Most importantly, plan ahead for a safe trip. Pack plenty of water for the walk you plan to take, wear appropriate footwear, protect yourself from the sun with a hat, long sleeves and sunscreen and check for alerts before your visit.
