Show consideration for the wild reindeer

Now that spring is upon us, we are entering the calving season for wild reindeer. It is especially important to show consideration for the animals and leave them alone if you encounter them. Here are some tips on what you can do to disturb the animals as little as possible.

• Do not disturb the wild reindeer; choose another area if it is known that there are wild reindeer in the area you were planning to visit.
• Avoid traveling in wild reindeer areas during calving in May.
• Follow marked trails.
• Keep your dog under control and check local leash laws.
• Stay calm if you see wild reindeer, so that it can move away undisturbed.
• Use binoculars and keep your distance.
