These
rules are necessary for the
protection
and preservation of Horse Pens 40
for future generations.
We
appreciate your cooperation. It will help us to keep
Horse Pens 40 beautiful for many years to come.
*** NOTE !!! Due to the environmental impact
and the potential for injury and damage,
GUESTS ARE PROHIBITED FROM BRINGING ANY SOFT-AIR
PELLET TYPE GUNS, BB GUNS OR PELLET RIFLES ONTO HP40 PROPERTY.
We feel that there is no place for these items in a nature
park where all living things are strongly protected. The potential for injury or damage Is simply too great, including the
fact that the lead and plastic pellets are potentially harmful to wildlife and are NOT BIODEGRADABLE, effecting the
environment for many years. Please use these items elsewhere in a safe place and in a safe manner, and be enviornmentally
responsible and use a target that recovers your pellets.
Horse Pens
40 is a
"LEAVE NO

There are a large number of rare, threatened,
protected, and endangered species here in the park.
No one can possibly know all of these various species,
many of which are protected by state and federal law;
Thus, all living things, all natural features, and all natural
rocks and stones are protected as if they are an endangered species.
Please do no harm to anything
while you are here.
