Live in peace and harmony with nature
be not in conflict with her, for her beauty and her pleasures are many.
Poison not her waters, for they are the home of our fishes and the
drink of our game, as well as ourselves.
Poison not her atmosphere, for it is
the source of her life and it is necessary for our continued well
being. Foul not with litter in her woods, her meadows, her mountains,
nor her waters for they provide us with beauty and the rich gifts of
her bounty.
Take not more fish from her seas nor
her lakes nor her streams than we can use at one time, so that there
will be more tomorrow. Take not the life of her beasts wantonly, nor
her fowl, for it is wrong and you shall be condemned by your fellow
sportsmen.
Disturb not her young nor their
homes, so that they may go forth and they may multiply. Tread lightly on
her paths, lest they be covered with
scars which will not heal.
Pluck not the wild flowers from her
bosom nor the fragile plants from her mountains, lest they be rare and
pass away forever, is be no more. Abuse not her laws, nor her
generosity lest her gifts be withheld from your sons, your daughters,
your grandsons and your granddaughters forever.
