List of Shelton Land Trust contacts in case of a problem or if you have questions regarding camping at Nicholdale: Project Coordinator Bruce Nichols bruce@peacepilgrim.org Board Member Joe Welsh mw tw@msn.com President Regulations: Camping: only allowed in the confines of the formal campsite. No camping is allowed in any of the fields. Parking: All vehicles must be parked in either of the two parking areas outside the gate. Vehicle Access to the Camp: Access to the camp depends on the ground conditions. Only ONE vehicle will be permitted access past the locked gate. Wild Life Preserve: NO firearms, bows and arrows or BB guns are permitted to be carried or used at Nicholdale. Leave the property in better condition than you found it. Use low impact camping – take nothing but photos and memories and leave nothing but footprints. Leave rocks, plants, animals and other objects as you found them. Minimize resource damage by using existing trails and designated existing campsites. Please do not hammer nails into trees, hack at the trees with hatches, saws or other tools, or damage bark or roots. Dispose of waste properly – pack it in, pack it out! Everything you bring in must go home with you which includes all food waste and rubbish. Please use the existing outhouse. No graffiti or carving on the wood. Dispose of dishwater at least 200 feet from springs or streams. Fires: Please contain your fires to the campsite in the existing campfire ring. Keep your fire small, use dead or downed wood. NEVER cut live or green trees. Burn all wood to ash and make doubly sure your fire is completely out before leaving the campsite. NO FIRES are allowed in either of the fields. Service Projects: If your pack/troop would like to help with a service project, please email Don Pendagast. Be Considerate of Others: Please respect others and protect the quality of their camping experience. Let nature sounds prevail, keep noise down and leave electronics and pets at home. Thank you, Shelton Land Conservation Trust
