Helpfulness
The forests of Horton Plains are said to be dwindling, many of the wild animals have disappeared from the area, and the growth in tourism and hiking has added to the threat of land erosion. Various steps have been taken to reverse these processes and tourists are now expected to be considerate to the local environment. You will be searched before you can enter the park and any plastic wrapping, even sweet wrappers or a pack of crisps or water bottle, will be confiscated to prevent littering.
