How to Help Look After Queensland's National Parks

Leave No Trace - National parks, state forests and reservoirs are special places. Please help care for the environment by observing these simple rules:
Protect the wildlife - Remember, plants and animals are protected. Try not to trample plants when walking or erecting your tent.
Be careful with fire - Use fireplaces where provided, not an open fire. Put the fire out when you leave your campsite.
Use a fuel stove - Preferably use a fuel stove for cooking. Don’t collect firewood from the reserve.
Leave no rubbish - Take your rubbish when you leave or use bins (where provided). Don’t bury rubbish.
Be considerate - People visit parks and forests to enjoy nature, not noisy radios or generators.
Camp softly - Leave your campsite better than you found it. Bury human wastes away from tracks and water bodies, if toilets are not provided.
Take no pets - Leave domestic animals at home. Their scent repels native wildlife.
Protect the creeks - Do not use soap, toothpaste or detergent in freshwater lakes and streams - they pollute the water.
