The Easter school holidays are a great time to go camping and with about one fifth of South Australia classified as Crown land there\u2019s a good chance holidaymakers could be making memories on such treasured sites.<\/p>\n
Crown land areas are among the state\u2019s most iconic natural locations, such as Wauraltee Beach on the Yorke Peninsula, Nepean Bay on Kangaroo Island, Cape Douglas in the South East, and Perlubie Beach on the Eyre Peninsula.<\/p>\n
The Department for Environment and Water manages Crown land for the benefit of the South Australian community, and the department is encouraging everyone to play their role in protecting these areas\u2019 environmental and cultural value for enjoyment today and for future generations.<\/p>\n
Department for Environment and Water Crown Land operations manager Mel Carson said most visitors were already doing the right thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re asking people to be responsible, to respect other campers, our wildlife and our environment,\u2019\u2019 she said. \u201cWe need to continue to take good care of these sites to ensure we leave no trace of our visits, which includes taking your rubbish with you and disposing of it appropriately.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
The department is conducting a #LeaveNoTrace social media campaign in the lead-up to the Easter school holidays to inform Crown land users of how to play their part in protecting, as well as enjoying, these popular sites. <\/p>\n
