Tips to recreate responsibly

We continue to urge anglers and others recreating outside to stay close to home, keep your social distance, and travel safely. Here’s more information about how to recreate responsibly.

The mother is probably out foraging and will return to its baby when it’s safe. Learn more about what to do if you find young wildlife.
