🏕️🔥 Labor Day Camping Safety Tips 🌲🐾
Heading into the great outdoors this weekend? Ensure your camping trip is safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone — including the wildlife. 🌄
✅ Stay Safe & Smart:
🦌 Observe wildlife from a distance – never approach or feed wild animals.
🗑️ Clean up your campsite – littering is illegal in North Carolina and harmful to nature.
🔐 Keep valuables locked in your vehicle or, better yet, leave them at home.
🔥 Fully extinguish your campfire before going to sleep or leaving your site.
🥫 Store food in animal-proof containers to avoid attracting unwanted furry visitors.
👀 Be aware of your surroundings – if something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and leave.
Let’s all do our part to protect our parks, wildlife, and each other. Have a safe and memorable Labor Day weekend! 🌳❤️
