We hate to have to make posts like this, but here goes. . .
Here at the McCully Heritage Project we expect our visitors to practice the principles of "Leave No Trace" Principle #3 is "Dispose of Waste Properly."
Using the bushes when you have to "go" is one thing, leaving behind your TP for others to find, and for someone else to clean up is just plain gross. Please DO NOT do this! Please "Leave No Trace" and dispose of your TP in the trash can after using the bushes, DO NOT leave it in the bushes!

We know we're about a week late with this, but it's MOREL MADNESS season!
We do allow mushroom hunting on the McCully Heritage Project property. PLEASE follow these guidelines:
*Enter the property from the main parking area off of Crawford Creek Road. Do NOT park along the road, or block any access roads or trails.
*Be respectful of our neighbors - do NOT cross our property lines.
*Be respectful of our resources - do NOT trample wild flowers or disturb the wildlife.
*The McCully Heritage Project is a private, non-profit organization, having access to our resources (which includes morel mushrooms) is a privilege, NOT a right.
*Please do not collect for profit. Only collect what you can eat.
*Please leave a donation! Your donations ensure we can remain open.
