CARE OF THE NATIONAL PARKS. Before entering the National Park participants will be involved in a discussion of conservation issues including; * Litter; * Access to areas; * Use of paths. SAFETY PROCEDURES Participants will be informed prior to their day tour by Brucknell Park staff, * Do Not climb safety railings; * Do Not leave the group; * Do Not leave the track.
