Leave gates and livestock alone

It is important when livestock are close to a trail that they are left undisturbed.

For gates, the guiding principles are simple:

  • do not tamper with a   farm gate; and
     

  • if there is a gate crossing a trail, leave the gate as it is found: re-close the gate if it is found closed; and leave a gate open if it is found open.
