TRAIL USE GUIDELINES

Minimize your impact on this Sensitive Environment by keeping on the Millpond Trail

​

Please walk your dog on a leash (and stoop and scoop)

Remember that dogs are natural hunters by nature and if allowed to roam loose, they put great stress on birds and small mammals.

This is particularly important in Spring when waterfowl are nesting around the Millpond.

 

Avoid Poison Ivy by staying on the trail.

 It is abundant at the Millpond so learn to recognize and avoid it!

"LEAVES OF THREE, LET THEM BE!"

Poison Ivy berries are a valuable source of food for birds and small mammals.
