How can I help keep Oxford County beautiful and healthy?
On trails, please remember to clean up after yourself. Provide adequate space for flora and fauna. Even if animals do not run away from you, they may be protecting young. Finally, take only photos and leave only footprints. If you'd like to give back, you can consider purchasing a tree. If the parking lot is full at the trail you're visiting, consider coming back at a different time or choosing a different trail to avoid overuse.
