ENJOYING THE

SANCTUARY

The Morrell Nature Sanctuary is operated by a registered charitable society styled the Morrell Sanctuary Society for Environmental Education . We are protective of our sanctuary and the value we bring to local School Districts, university research and to nature lovers in general. As a Society, we are obliged by our constitution and bylaws to do what is best for the Sanctuary and we need everyone to be on side and to do whatever they can to keep Morrell a safe and natural environment. TO OUR MEMBERS: Our members are the stakeholders of the Sanctuary, they are our greatest asset simply because they care about Morrell and regularly visit for the following reasons: • The Sanctuary is a quiet place to walk and experience a nature reserve that has not been torn up by ATV’s, mountain bikes, or adventurous canines. • Animal lovers wish to take their dog for a walk, controlled on its leash, and not have to protect it and themselves from over exuberant and sometimes dangerous dogs. Older members and families with young children want to walk in peace without this same threat. • Nature enthusiasts wish to experience the pacific northwest wilderness in as close to its natural, wild state as possible without it having been stripped of its natural beauty, its fungi, flora, and fauna. • Hikers and walkers prefer to ramble in an environment where pedestrians have right of way and cycling is restricted. TO OUR VISITORS The members and volunteers of Morrell ask for everyone’s cooperation and adherence to the policies, rules, and regulations of this private, nature sanctuary. Also, we wish all visitors to be aware that our Society, supported by the Nature Trust of British Columbia and reinforced by the RCMP are taking a ZERO TOLERANCE stance to those who do not adhere to the following strictly enforced rules. Please note you are on private property. • school groups and authorized educational groups have right of way, you must step aside or if riding a bicycle you must dismount and wait till the school group or authorized educational/nature group passes or are instructed otherwise by the group leader before continuing your journey • your dog must be leashed at all times and you must clean up after your dog • you may not harvest any flora, fauna or fungi • you must only ride your non-motorized bicycle on those trails indicated on our maps, motorized vehicles are not allowed • walking/hiking organisers will be held responcible for their groups Thank you - the 170+ individuals and groups of the Morrell Sanctuary Society for Environmental Education who are legally bound by the terms of our 99 year lease on this private property to protect its natural state and to provide environmental education to the children of this island, and on behalf of the Nature Trust of BC.
