| Guidelines for Guests If you are not a WWOOFA please consider joining - click here for info Dear Guests; Dear Guests; Please have a great time while staying in this forested land. The ecosystem here requires that we observe common sense and a number of sensible guidelines to ensure the life of this land is sustainable. Please respect the place, people, plants, animals, soil, water, space and air at RingWood and work to improve the area you find yourself in, leaving it in (at least) as good a condition as you find it. Bring no weapons of any kind onto RingWood land. Conserve water and use 'waste' water on gardens, trees, etc. Ensure water supplies (tanks etc) are kept at high levels in case of emergencies. Please do not use, wash off or spill soap, personal insect repellants or shampoos etc in waterways. When returning from walks, please collect any fallen wood in your path for firewood piles; leave any standing or 'dead-looking' plants and leave any hollow logs where they lie. Please collect rocks only from areas approved by your host. If you intend to go bushwalking please notify your host first and find out about property boundaries and natural hazards. Be very careful with fire; only light fires in designated fireplaces and with approval of your host. Candles and similar lights and fires must be placed in a secure metal candle holder. Please turn off gas bottles as soon as you turn off any gas appliance or when not being used. Don't burn refuse – especially plastics, metal, glass or batteries, etc; these are taken to the recycling centre. Store this refuse in sealed bags or bins. We are vegetarians at RingWood - we don't eat meat and definitely don't kill and eat the fish in the river; RingWood is a wildlife sanctuary. Only cut plants of any kind after checking with host. Please use designated toilets only and sprinkle ash or whatever’s provided on composting toilets after use. Feel free to urinate around trees (not on the trunk or near houses, please). Please return all tools at the end of the day. If we observe these simple guidelines we can all survive and thrive here. If you intend to stay, please read the RingWood Agreements. The Three Nos At RingWood we have only three major social taboos; No violence or violent behaviour; No alcoholism or hard drugs; No theft (or borrowing without asking). We rarely tolerate religious proselytising. Thank You |
