Missoulian: Visitor
misbehavior abounds as U.S. parks agency turns 100
Depreciative Visitor Use
“Unfortunately, park visitors also engage in what are termed 'depreciative behaviors' or actions that degrade park resources or experiences of other visitors. These inappropriate behaviors include such things as littering, feeding of wildlife, collection of green wood for use in campfires, disfiguring trees and rocks, and improper disposal of human waste in the backcountry. Other behaviors of concern include walking and hiking with pets that are not leashed, collection of specimens, construction of fire rings and ground fires in the backcountry, and shortcutting on trail switchbacks. The list of inappropriate visitor activities could become quite extensive.”
