BE EASY ON THE LAND

SEVERALTYPES of terrain demand special care in campsite selection:

Meadows
Whenever possible, camp in the forest away from meadows and the trees at their edge. Meadows can be important feeding areas for animals that could be frightened away by your activities. Deeper in the woods you will be sheltered from sun and wind, and your camp will blend into its surroundings. You are also less likely to beat down meadow grasses and create erosion.
