Do not cause damage or disturbance and leave no trace of your visit
We all have a responsibility to protect our countryside and open spaces for current and future generations.
Care for nature – do not cause damage or disturbance. Leave rocks, stone, plants and trees as you find them and take care not to disturb wildlife including birds that nest on the ground.
Do not disturb ruins or historic sites – our heritage in the natural and built environment is important.
Lapwings, skylarks and yellowhammers are just some of England’s bird species that next on the ground. Sadly, these nests are at risk of being trampled on.
You can help by sticking to paths and keeping your dog on a lead when out in the countryside. #RespectProtectEnjoy pic.twitter.com/D6kj8Ipjp2
