Site Etiquette

FSRA produced a video for its YouTube channel that provides guidance on appropriate site etiquette for cultural and spiritual petroglyph locations. The sites we monitor are considered sacred by the descendants of the people who created them, and respectful visitation is essential to their protection.

We have also developed site-behavior flyers for young adults, created in collaboration with high school students. These materials, along with site information and visitor logs, are placed in waterproof containers at public and well-known non-public sites. Public sites are open to visitors and include educational signage to help support responsible access.

These visitation guidelines encourage respectful behavior, promote cultural awareness, and help prevent damage to sensitive sites.

Photos in this section show educational signage FSRA helped install at the Donner Pass site, along with examples of metal containers used to hold site-behavior information and visitor logs at vulnerable locations..
