Please Don't Touch the Wildlife

We appreciate your help in respecting all of the wonderful wildlife at Hesperia Lake Park. It's especially important during spring/early summer when there are a lot of little ones about the park that can suffer from being chased, touched, picked up, or other traumas.

~Please do your part to monitor children in your care as well, and teach them to observe and respect the wildlife from a distance.

THANK YOU!

In the pics: These little ducklings were abandoned by their parents after being handled by humans. This is a common practice we are trying to help avoid on our watch.
