How to Leave a Positive Impact
When enjoying the National Forest or even just exploring a new town, keep these important things in mind:
- Leave No Trace - Do not leave litter or other debris in the forest, along the streets, in parks, along the shoreline, or anywhere else.
- Take Nothing But Pictures - Leave all plants, rocks, and animals as is. Do not remove them from their natural habitat.
- Stick to the Trails - When hiking, biking, horseback riding, or off-roading, stay on designated trails. Not only to protect the native plants and fauna, but also to reduce wildfire risk from engine sparks.
- Lend a Helping Hand - Clear away any litter you find, even if it's not yours. One good deed done by many leaves a positive, lasting impact.
- Respect Each Other - If you can only be one thing, be kind. Respect private property and be cordial and considerate of others.
Care For Big Bear
Big Bear has seen an incredible boom in popularity and prosperity thanks to the hard work of our local entrepreneurs, second homeowners, dedicated employees, and eager visitors. With this boom comes the side effects of increased traffic, noise, litter, graffiti, and wear on the natural environment.
Care for Big Bear is an ongoing sustainability campaign designed to empower our community through the cooperation of our locals and visitors. It is a call to action to preserve and protect our natural playground for future generations to enjoy. Through education, motivation, and awareness we unite to Care for Big Bear on an endless scale. When we work together, we vow to Care for our community, Appreciate our natural environment, Respect our neighbors and Enjoy our valley.
