Montana Tourism: Respect Nature & Wildlife

You should tread lightly on public and private lands. As a visitor to the wilds of Montana, you can use wise thinking and show your respect of nature and wildlife.

Tread Lightly!

I Pledge to Tread Lightly on public and private lands by:

• Traveling only where motorized vehicles are permitted.
• Respecting the rights of hikers, skiers, campers, and others to enjoy their activities undisturbed.
• Educating myself by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies, complying with signs and barriers, and asking owners' permission to cross private property.
• Avoiding streams, lake shores, meadows, muddy roads and trails, steep hillsides, wildlife, and livestock.
• Driving responsibly to protect the environment and preserve opportunities to enjoy my vehicle on wild lands.
• STOP AND THINK!
• Wildfire Safety
