#NOTrace Camping

• District bylaws prohibit campfires on public lands, and provincial fire bans restrict campfires outside municipal boundaries. Know before you go.
• Be Bear Smart: leaving food and garbage unsecured will attract bears and other wild animals. This is dangerous for you and puts the bears at risk too. Never keep or consume food in your tent.
• Garbage/recycling must always be secured and disposed of properly. See the list of resources for drop-off locations.
• Ensure proper disposal of human waste and toilet paper. Dig a hole to bury both waste and paper if washroom facilities are unavailable. Please don’t pollute waterways, beaches or trails.
• Please don’t use toiletries in rivers and streams.
• Before leaving, return your site to the condition in which you found it. Pack out what you pack in.
• Be thoughtful and respectful. The community of Squamish and the environment thank you.
