Before you begin your spring walk, remember that the forest is a sensitive ecosystem. Therefore, bring only the essentials to avoid littering. Instead, pack a reusable water bottle and a cloth bag for snacks. If you find other people's trash in the forest, please pick it up and dispose of it later in a trash can or container.

The forest is home to numerous animal and plant species, and their protection is an important issue. Please be respectful of nature and stay off the paths. Also, avoid picking flowers and feeding animals.
Please note: Spring also marks the beginning of the young animals' time in the forest. From April 1 to July 31 , dogs are legally required to be kept on a leash in Aargau and most other cantons in Switzerland. Out of respect for wildlife, noisy activities should be avoided at dusk and at night.

Sustainable travel
If possible, it's best to get to the starting point of your forest walks or hikes by public transport or bicycle. This will reduce CO2 emissions and ease the already congested Easter traffic.
