The Preserve is private property. It is a privilege
to use it. Contribute in some way to the continued improvement and
maintenance of the property: contribute financially by joining the
Friends of Los Jilgueros Preserve and the Fallbrook Land Conservancy;
help on volunteer days; pick up trash when you’re walking. Do what you
can to help us preserve the good reputation of dog walkers and bicycle
riders.
Responsibilities of Dog Walkers
-
Your dog is YOUR responsibility. If you can’t
control your dog, use a leash.
-
Do not let your dog approach a person or a leashed
dog – even for a friendly sniff or greeting – without their
permission. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR DOG AWAY FROM CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, AND
PERSONS WITH LIMITED MOBILITY.
-
If your dog is aggressive or difficult to control
by voice command, use a leash or walk someplace else.
-
Leash your dog while on narrow, fenced, or
otherwise constricted pathways, so it will not be allowed to approach
anyone you may encounter there. Examples: The North Easement Path
leading from the Firescape Garden to Peppertree Street, and the West
Walkway/Boardwalk along Mission Road, next to the wetlands.
-
Know where your dog is at all times. It is not OK
to walk ahead of your dog and let him/her wander after you . . . how
would you know if they are leaving anything behind?
-
Pick up your dog’s poop. Period. Be a good
neighbor. Pick up other poop if you see it – there may be a time when
you are unable to find your dog’s poop.
-
It is your responsibility to protect wildlife and
wetlands. Do not let your dog chase birds or wildlife. Do not let your
dog dig – he/she could be digging up a nest! Do not let your dog
venture into the wetlands. The wetlands are along the western edge of
the preserve. Where the grass ends, the wetlands begin. Keep your dog
away from the Native Plant areas.
Responsibilities of Bicycle Riders
-
Walkers have the right of way. ALWAYS.
-
Ride only at reasonable speeds. The Preserve is not
a race course or training ground.
-
Be certain that you can control your bicycle at all
times.
-
When approaching walkers from behind, slow down and
call out to them that you are approaching on a bicycle, and indicate
on which side you’ll be passing them ("Bicycle approaching – passing
on your left")
-
Ride with concern for the safety of others. The
safety of all walkers you approach is YOUR responsibility.
Friends of Los Jilgueros Preserve was formed to help promote
responsible use of the preserve. We are a committee of the Fallbrook
Land Conservancy.
Please remember – It’s a Preserve, Not a Park.
