Waste and Minimising Damage. For environmental and site sustainability purposes, event organisers are required to, and will be responsible for, managing all aspects of waste (water, litter, human, canine etc) in relation to their events. Further information and guidance on this aspect is detailed in the Forestry Commission Operational Guidance Booklet (OGB) 35, copies of which are available from FLS region offices. Approved methods and locations for the disposal of dog faeces as agreed with FLS must be indicated for competitors and spectators (if relevant) throughout the event. No dog faeces (including faeces in bags) shall be left on the event site, competition routes nor any other areas related to running the event. If it is intended to fix notices or markers to trees on no account shall nails, staples, wire or anything liable to damage trees be used. The recommended method is to tie with string (not nylon or similar fibre) in such a way that tree damage is avoided. Participants must be encouraged to ensure their shoes, paws and tyres (including those of motor vehicles, trailers, bicycles, rigs, trikes, scooters) plus runners on sleds, are cleaned prior to arriving on site, and on departure, to help protect our forests from tree pests and diseases. Keep It Clean.
