Sharing the Resource
The Cass River Greenway attracts many types of boaters, bird watchers, and cyclists. It is important that all users understand and abide by a few simple guidelines:
- Know the boundaries of public and private lands. Be considerate of the privacy and rights of landowners and do not enter private land unless you have prior permission from the property owner.
- Respect wildlife and learn through quiet observation. Do not disturb wildlife or plants just for a “better look”. Large groups often cause more damage to the environment and can disturb wildlife so keep your group small.
- Be courteous and respectful of others. Respect their SPACE, PRIVACY, and SOLITUDE while on the river, in camp, on hikes and at boat ramps. Respect anglers’ water – boaters should look ahead for anglers, both on the shore and in the water, and give them a wide berth, passing by quietly.
Take only Pictures. Leave only Footprints
Always collect your trash before you depart from a stop, even biodegradable items such as apple cores and orange peels. Trash bags should always be part of your gear. Make it a habit to pick up an extra bit of litter on each trip. Individual actions will lead to a cleaner and healthier river!
