SAFETY GUIDELINES AT WILLOWBANK WILDLIFE RESERVE

The following are guidelines to ensure the safety of your students as well as the residents of the Reserve.  Please discuss the following with your group (including parent helpers) before arriving at Willowbank.  Thank you. 

1.       Please do not run through the park.  Running can disturb nesting and/or feeding animals and can cause personal injury.
2.      Please keep voices at usual talking level as screaming and unexpected loud noise can frighten the animals.
3.       Keep to the track at all times to avoid accidentally stepping on birds nests or newly planted vegetation and to avoid personal injury. 
4.       For the health of our animals please do not feed them unless it is with food purchased from the Willowbank counter.  Animals will tend to  accept most foods offered to them but some foods can make them sick. 
5.       Please emphasize sensible behaviour from your students.  Things like throwing sticks or stones at animals is cruel but can also be dangerous if the animal gets upset or tries to protect itself.  Please explain that  students seen disturbing animals in this, or like manner, will be asked by Willowbank staff to leave the Reserve immediately.
6.       Please use litter and recycling bins provided throughout the park.   Litter can be dangerous to the animals.  Please ask your students to respect their environment. 
7.       Please ensure your ration is 1 adult : 5 children and that your group stays together with the adult in charge. 
8.       It is essential that students are made aware of water hazards throughout the Reserve.  No running, pushing or fooling by waterways.  Please reinforce this to your parent helpers and students.
9.       It is also essential that all KEEP OUT, STAFF ONLY and NO FEEDING signs are obeyed at all times. 

The above points are in addition to your schools normal risk management policies. Willowbank Wildlife Reserve will take no responsibility for the welfare and behaviour of any visitors to the Reserve.
