IMPORTANT: Please stay on the paths and keep your dogs on a leash. Please do not step on the peat moss, which is sensitive to treading, as the peat moss is an important water reservoir in the landscape. It also forms peat from below and stores a lot of CO2. However, if it is trampled on, it will rot on the surface. Also, don't pick plants and take your trash with you!
