NEVER feed wildlife
They may become aggressive or dependent.
Wildlife attracted to roads are often killed by cars.
In picnic areas or campgrounds do not leave
food and garbage, it attracts trouble.

Beware of wild life on roads
Pull over to view wildlife.
Give bears space, you are in their territory.

PETS & PREDATORS
Take precautions in wild areas & parks,
keep dogs on a leash.

If you FACE A BEAR OR COUGAR
Pick up small children, face the animal
and retreat slowly.
Do NOT RUN or play dead.
IF the animal is threatening, act aggressive;
shout, wave a stick, throw a rock.
Wildlife and thousands of visitors
must share these coastal ecosystems,
so please do not disturb living plants or wildlife.

NOTE: Aggressive encounters with wildlife are
VERY rare, and usually occur when humans corner an animal. Please give all animals plenty of space.
