Each Park faces different challenges with keeping human food away from wildlife, and it is our goal to make Pinnacles National Park a safe place for both humans and wildlife. Please avoid the temptation to feed park animals and remember to report unusually tame or aggressive wildlife at the Visitor Center or to a ranger. At any camping area, be sure to ask about food storage regulations when you check into your site.
Please do:
• Store food and coolers in trunk or locked bin
• Close car doors and windows
• Put trash/recycling in bins provided
• Enjoy wildlife from a distance
Please don’t:
• Feed wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, and jays
• Litter
• Leave pet food unattended outdoors
• Leave food unattended
Feeding wildlife can result in:
• Injuries from bites and scratches
• Disease transmission to people and pets
• Damage to cars and belongings
• Injury or death of wildlife
• Punishment by fine
