Community Guidelines

We are excited to welcome you to Lander year after year, whoever you are and whatever your background may be, to share time and space together. Come as you are, and know that we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels safe and respected. Discrimination, harassment, hatred, or harmful behavior of any kind will not be tolerated at or around the Festival, and we reserve the right to remove anyone who violates these values.

To help us work toward these goals together, please follow these community and stewardship guidelines:

• Be considerate and respectful of one another

• Follow all land manager rules, regulations, and closures

• Respect wildlife, natural resources, and shared spaces

• Stay on established trails and access routes

• Dispose of waste properly

• Keep dogs leashed and under control

To help minimize the spread of invasive species:

• Remove plants, animals, and mud from boots, gear, pets, and vehicles

• Clean your gear before entering and leaving recreation areas

• Stay on designated roads and trails

• Use certified or local firewood and hay
