The Country Code; The Coastal Code - Swift MONZA CAMPERVAN Owner's Manual

Environment
Care and consideration should be taken to
protect the environment. Observe the Country
and Coastal Codes.

2.4 The Country code

Enjoy the countryside but respect its life and
work.
More people than ever before are exploring
the countryside, interested in farming, plant
life, bird watching or just observing the general
wildlife. Whatever your interest, there is a lot to
learn, but please observe the following code:
1. Guard against all risk of fires. Hay and
heathland catch alight easily and once
ablaze are very difficult to put out.
Remember: fire spreads quickly.
2. Fasten all gates.
3. Keep your dog under proper control.
4. Keep to the paths across farm land.
5. Avoid damaging fences, hedges and walls.
6. Leave no litter.
7. Safeguard water supplies.
8. Protect wildlife, wild plants and trees.
9. Go carefully on country roads.
10. Respect the life of the countryside. The

2.5 The coastal code

As our coastlines are increasingly used for
recreation and education, the following
suggestions are made to enable us to enjoy our
inheritance and preserve it for posterity.
Do not trample about, or move rocks
unnecessarily.
Do not frighten seals or seabirds.
Do not spill detergents, solvents or fuel from
boats as these can kill marine life.
When sailing, moderate your speed - the wash
from a fast boat can destroy banks and nests.
Live molluscs and crustaceans need not be
collected as souvenirs - dead shells can usually
be found.
Shellfish can take years to grow and fines can be
imposed for not observing national regulations.
Do not pull up seaweeds unnecessarily. Make
your visit instructive - not destructive.
Look at material - don't remove it. Take notes
and photographs, not specimens.
Observe by-laws and be considerate to others.
National Trust property and Country Parks have
regulations to protect the wildlife. Follow these
and the Country and Coastal Codes.
