Wearing a face mask if social distancing is not possible.
Keeping dogs on a leash.
For all NCLT organized group hikes, nature walk programs, and land stewardship activities, prior registration is required. All groups will be limited to 10.
Participants of group hikes, nature walks, and land stewardship activities must not share equipment
