Start Your Safari
There’s a big world out there waiting to be explored. When you head out on your next adventure, follow these essential field tips to stay safe and be responsible:
- WEAR PROPER CLOTHING: Wear appropriate shoes and clothing to protect you and keep you warm, or cool, depending on the weather.
- TRAVEL WITH OTHERS: There’s safety in numbers and it’s a lot more fun. There should always be at least two or three people in your group.
- PACK EMERGENCY GEAR: Always carry a whistle, a flashlight, and a first aid kit. Use your whistle to call for help if you get separated from your group.
- EXPLORE SAFELY: Follow trails and stay away from all unsafe areas. For example, high places or near loose rocks. Be very careful near water and ice.
- CARRY WATER & FOOD: Drinking water keeps you hydrated. A small snack will keep you comfortable and energized.
- KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING: Ask for directions and don’t travel where someone can’t see you or find you. Always be sure you can find your way back.
- CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF: Leave things looking as good or better than you found them. Carry your own trash and dispose of it properly.
- BE KIND TO NATURE: Never harm plants, animals or other wildlife. Ask permission when collecting specimens. Leave everything else untouched.
- BE RESPONSIBLE: Protect the environment. Everything in nature should be respected—trees, plants, fish, birds, even rocks! Don’t cause damage and never start a fire!
- TELL YOUR PARENTS: Make sure your parents or other adults know where you’ll be and when you’re coming back. Better yet…invite them along for the adventure!
