Rangers urge hikers to stay on trails and not feed wildlife
Original: Why rangers say stay on the trail and don’t feed wildlife
Park rangers are reminding visitors to remain on designated trails and avoid feeding wild animals. Feeding wildlife can make animals dependent on humans, alter their natural behavior, and lead to dangerous encounters, while straying off trails damages fragile habitats and disturbs nesting or grazing species. Rangers stress that simple visitor habits protect both people and animals in parks and natural areas.
Why now: The reminder reflects ongoing ranger efforts to reduce human-wildlife conflicts in busy natural areas.
