Outdoor

enjoyment

BY JIM BANKSTON Game Warden

WITH the arrival of warmer weather, we begin to think about outdoor activities and summer vacations. These outings bring the individual into contact with the plants and animals in our forests. Enjoying the woods though sometimes leads to problems such as poison ivy, oak or sumac.

Many animals are encountered on these jaunts into the forests. As the direct result of human handling, many animals are needlessly condemned to death. Plants and wildlife should be left in the woods for everyone to enjoy and never brought home. Unfamiliar plants can lead to rashes or allergies if handled.

Fawns, baby birds or other wildlife may be abandoned or cause serious injury to the individual trying to handle the “poor lost creature.” The safest and best way to enjoy the outdoors is to look at it but not to touch. □
