I came across this on the U4WDA site and thought it was worth posting here. Spring is around the corner and many of us will be hitting the Trails in force, so please keep the following in mind.
To see it on the U4WDA site, go to- Ethics
Code of Recreational Ethics-
(The following items have been recommended for all BlueRibbon affiliations for adoption.)
U4WDA supports and encourages the following Code of Recreational Ethics.
1- I will respect the rights of all recreationists to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. I will respect public and private property.
2- I will park considerately, taking no more space than needed, without blocking other vehicles and without impeding access to trails.
3- I will keep to the right when meeting another recreationist. I will yield the right-of-way to traffic moving uphill.
4- I will slow down and use caution when approaching or overtaking another.
5- I will respect designated areas, trail-use signs and established trails.
6- When stopping I will not block the trail.
7- I will not disturb wildlife. I will avoid areas posted for the protection of feeding wildlife.
8- I will pack out everything I packed in and will not litter.
9- I realize that my destination objective and travel speed should be determined by my equipment, ability, the terrain, weather, and the traffic on the trail. In case of an emergency, I will volunteer assistance.
10- I will not interfere with or harass others. I recognize that people judge all trail users by my action. Motorized trail users should pull off the trail and stop their engines when encountering horseback riders. It is also a good idea to take off your helmet and greet the riders.
