Seasonal Reminders
As we move from hunting season into snowmobiling season, we encourage you to enjoy the Heartlands, stay on the trails, be safe, and have fun. As a reminder, TNC asks residents who use the Heartlands roads and trails throughout the fall and winter to follow “Leave No Trace” principles, which include taking out whatever you bring into the Heartlands. Camping is not allowed on any TNC-owned land, and neither are fires. Hunters are also prohibited from setting up permanent deer blinds. Vehicles and snowmobiles should remain on designated trails.
