THE ENVIRONMENTAL CARE CODE
PROTECT PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
Treat New Zealand's forests and birds with care and respect. They are unique and often rare.
REMOVE RUBBISH
Litter is unattractive, harmful to wildlife and can increase vermin and disease. Plan your visits to reduce rubbish, and carry out what you carry in.
BURY TOILET WASTE
In areas without toilet facilities, bury your toilet waste in a shallow hole well away from waterways, tracks, campsites and huts.
KEEP STREAMS AND LAKES CLEAN
When cleaning and washing, take the water and wash well away from the water source. Because soaps are harmful to water-life, drain used water into the soil to allow it to be filtered. If you suspect the water may be contaminated, either boil it for at least three minutes, filter it, or chemically treat it.
CAMP CAREFULLY
When camping leave no trace of your visit.
TAKE CARE WITH FIRES
Portable fuel stoves are less harmful to the environment and are more efficient than fires. If you use a fire, keep it small, use only dead wood and make sure it is out before leaving. Also check whether fire bans are in place.
KEEP TO THE TRACK
By keeping to the track, where one exists, you lessen the chance of damaging fragile plants.
CONSIDER OTHERS
People visit the back country and rural areas for many reasons. Be considerate of each other visitors who also have a right to enjoy the natural environment.
RESPECT OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE
Many places in New Zealand have a spiritual and historical significance. Threat these places with consideration and respect.
ENJOY YOUR VISIT
Enjoy your outdoor experience. Take a last look before leaving an area; will the next visitor know that you have been there?
