Plan to minimize impact- Keep group sizes small, make sure you are using tracks that are already used, bring things you can re use or throw in the bin once its done.

 Do not make your own track, walk on existing tracks, do not take shortcuts, do not build structures, furniture or dig trenches.

use existing campsites- Use tent platforms when available, do not trample or remove vegetation to create or extend a campsite. Leave campsites in the same or better condition than on arrival.  Remove rubbish left by others.  Do not dig trenches around tents.

•Do not damage plants.

•Do not attempt to use living timber as firewood.

•Do not collect plants or seeds to take home.

•Do not destroy or interfere with the habitat of birds and animals.

•Do not feed or leave food for animals. Human food can harm wildlife and cause some animals to become aggressive.

•During activities people can transport weeds and pathogens Eg Phytophthora, root rot disease especially on boots, gaiters, tent pegs and floors, etc.

•Check that all clothing and equipment is clean before leaving home.

•Do not enter designated protected areas.

•Use disease control stations if provided on tracks. Scrub boots and use provided foot baths and brushes.

•After a trip, clean all clothing and disinfect equipment used in known contaminated areas.

•If there are no toilets bury human waste and toilet paper 15 cm deep at least 100m from campsites, water sources and tracks. Use a trowel to assist burying human waste.

•Carry out sanitary products as they will not degrade.

•Always wash hands thoroughly after toileting.
