The Conservation Area selected as the site for your Special Event is shared by many different groups. A Special Use Permit is not an exclusive reservation. Other concurrent uses may be occurring on the area. Mutual respect is crucial. Please be considerate. Before leaving the Area please examine the site to assure that: (1) human and animal sanitation issues have been properly addressed, and (2) all trash and litter have been removed. Since the Conservation Area belongs to all citizens, please return the site to pre-event condition prior to leaving.
