Raven Ridge:

· The ridge trail that has the greatest access to westerly-views remains closed from March 1 – June 15 for bobcats and ravens who are raising their young. If you want to view the eclipse from Raven Ridge, use the boardwalk which traverses through an open meadow.

· Leave your dog at home.

General Eclipse Guidance:

· TNC natural areas are home to a diversity of life who depend on these lands and waters. So please treat these spaces like you would when entering into another's home.

· Respect neighbors and local communities. Do not block driveways or roadways. Make sure you're aware of private property.

· Our parking areas are generally designed to hold no more than 5-6 vehicles. If a parking area is at capacity, go somewhere else. Adjacent areas can be very sensitive, do not attempt to park outside of designated parking areas.

· Roads and trails will be wet. Avoid traveling on surfaces that are saturated – this can cause long-term damage to sites.

· Overnight camping is not allowed on any natural area.
