Please Don’t Touch the Wildlife
We appreciate your help in respecting all 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 pictures: 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.
