Seasonal Information

Summer Season is Here!

Planning an outdoor adventure this summer? Whether you are camping, hosting a park barbeque or picnic, here are some simple and eco-friendly tips to help preserve our beautiful landscape.

• Prevent overflowing receptacles by packing out what you pack in when visiting parks for picnics and barbeques.
• Plan meals ahead in reusable containers.
• Pack reusable plates, cups and utensils.
• Use a fabric table cloth and fabric napkins.
