It is strictly forbidden to litter while on-site. We care about the environment and the well-being of the species living on site. We ask everyone who visits our site to kindly help us preserve the fauna and flora of Mount Royal by bringing back all waste to dispose of it at home. Doing so and not leaving any trash or recycling behind will help us in our mission to Leave No Trace.
