The Importance of Filing Incident Reports

If you would like to see an increase in the number of rangers patrolling our parks and an increase in the number of citations issued for violations, it is very important that you file incident reports.  Parks respond best to science driven data.  Currently, very few of us are filing incident reports.  Until they start to receive this data, Parks are unlikely to make room in their budgets for additional ranger staff or to encourage their rangers to actually issue citations.

Filing incident reports also enables Parks to help develop strategic responses, track trends, learn other information that could help such as need for more signage, trail condition issues, sight line improvements, groups to focus outreach efforts.

Filing incident reports is our shared privilege and responsibility.  Below is the contact information for all of our local parks. Please enter it into your mobile phones for quick and easy access.

The council strives to promote and protect the general welfare of equestrians and equines through our educational seminars, newsletters and community involvement which includes the representation of all Marin horse people before municipal, county, and state agencies in matters of political interest important to equestrians, especially animal welfare, open space and land usage issues. Always eager to share the joy of horses, we also engage in community outreach with the goal of introducing the Marin horse community to others.
