HOW TO ACT AROUND WILD ANIMALS (TIPS 1-5)
       When you go camping, you are going into the home territory of wild animals. Follow these instructions to stay safe around West Virginia Wildlife:

Make sure your campsite is clean. Do not leave food or trash out in the open or in your tents. This may attract wild animals to your campsite. DO NOT feed the wildlife, even if they seem friendly Always stay with a buddy. Do not hike alone or at night. Pay attention to where you are in wild areas. Look. Listen. Stay away from dead animals you find in the wild. A bear may be out of sight, but close by. The bear might think you are trying to steal its food.
