[HubbardBrook] respecting the forest and each other

[Bailey, Scott -FS]

Dear Hubbard Brook community:

Unfortunately, it has come to my attention - multiple times now - that improper disposal of human waste is an increasing problem at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. Popular parking areas, including the vicinity of weirs 1, 2, and 6, are particular problem spots. Please practice leave-no-trace principles when working at or visiting the forest. I would like to ask crew leaders and supervisors to review leave-no-trace practices with their crews and students. The following is a good resources: https://lnt.org/research-resources/leave-no-trace-for-the-outdoor-workplace/ Please see especially the section on human waste:


  *   When a latrine or bathroom is not available, deposit solid human waste in a cathole dug 6 to 8 inches deep at least 200 feet (about 70 steps) from water, trails, and worksites. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished.
  *   Use toilet paper sparingly and do not leave it on the ground. Pack out all toilet paper and hygiene products, don't burn them - fire hazard. TIP: Carry a zip-lock baggy in an emergency cathole kit to make this trash an easy carry out.
Thank you for respecting the forest and each other.

Caring for the land and serving people
I live and work in Pamijoasik, part of the territory of the Wabanaki people. I acknowledge the Wabanaki as the original people of  this land, their continuing presence and relationship with their territory, and the contributions that Indigenous knowledge can make in learning to understand and live sustainably with the land.
