Ecological considerations 
The area acts as important water catchments, which provides fresh water throughout the year.

In order to maintain recreational activities with minimum environmental impact, it is necessary to bear in mind the following precautions:

� Not to disturb wild animals in any way
� Not to take any pets or guns into the park
� Not to uproot, pick, cut or damage plant or be in possession of any part of a plant indigenous to the park
� Not to swim in Parks rivers and pools  
� Not to discard any litter (Trash in, trash out)

Collaboration with surrounding communities
Local people are involved in conservation of natural resources and water catchments area. Besides the protection of water catchments area, the park is providing assistance with schools, dispensaries, and other community initiated development projects.

Environmental Education is frequently delivered to local schools so as to instill knowledge and skills to young minds in primary schools. Community Education and Extension work are conducted for local people with the aim of negotiating for a change, raising concern and problem solving on environmental issues.

Agro forestry is undertaken to build alternative resources base, so that dependence on forest resources is reduced.

National wide revenue from tourism enables the park to expand its contribution to the local community, which has so far developed a positive attitude towards natural resources conservation and management.
