ROCKHOUND CODE OF ETHICS

I will respect both private and public property and will do no collecting on privately owned land without the owner's or claim holder's permission.

I will keep informed on all laws, regulations or rules governing collecting on public lands and will observe them.

I will, to the best of my ability, ascertain the boundary lines of property on which I plan to collect.

I will use no flrearms or blasting material in collecting areas.

I will cause no willful damage to property of any kind - fences, signs, buildings etc.

I will leave all gates as found.

I will build flres in designated or safe places only and will be certain they are completely extinguished before leaving the area.

I will discard no burning material, matches, cigarettes, etc.

I will flll all excavation holes which may be dangerous to livestock.

I will not contaminate wells, creeks or other water supplies.

I will not cause willful damage to collecting material and will take home only what I can reasonably use.

I will support the rockhound project H.E.L.P. (Help Eliminate Litter Please) and will leave all collecting areas devoid of litter, regardless of how found.

I will cooperate with fleld trip leaders and those in designated authority in all collecting areas.

I will report to the Bureau of Land Management, or other proper authorities, any deposit of petrified wood or other material on public land which should be protected for the enjoyment of futUfC generations for public, educational and scientiflc purposes.

I will appreciate and protect our heritage of natural resources.

I will observe the "Golden Rule," and will use "Good Outdoor Manners," and will at all times conduct myself in a manner which will add to the stature and "Public Image" of rockhounds everywhere.
