One of the best things about living in Promontory is sharing our space with incredible wildlife – rabbits, porcupines, squirrels, and especially this time of year, deer and elk. While we love seeing them in our yards and open space, seeing them on our roads is a different story. Each animal reacts differently to approaching cars and it’s best to let the animal clear the road first before passing. PLEASE, for your safety and the preservation of our animals, use caution and SLOW DOWN.

Reminder that, pursuant to the CCR’s and the Conservancy’s Policy Regarding Pets, owner’s pets are not permitted to roam free on Promontory grounds at any time. Accordingly, please keep all animals on leashes when exploring trails and properly contained when at home. For those that neglect to do so, the Conservancy Board will be forced to take enforcement action pursuant to its policies, as the safety of all Promontory residents is always our top priority. Any interaction between the native wildlife (elk and the like) and pets who are running unattended could be very dangerous.

Please reserve the driveway space at your home for parking conventional automobiles only. Non-conventional vehicles and recreational toys, such as motor homes, campers, boats, trailers, motorcycles, must be parked in your garage so as to be completely hidden from view or at an off-site storage facility. Recognizing the need for some flexibility, the Conservancy will allow a one-hour window wherein these items may be parked in the driveway for loading, unloading, and cleaning.

• Bring water, wear the right shoes, sunscreen, & a hat
• Always hike with another person.When you are out on the trails you may see wildlife. Blue birds, birds of prey, deer and elk as well. We have a habitat that sustains a wide variety of wildlife. With this in mind, it is also important that you keep your dog on a leash at all times, not only for your pet’s protection but, also for the safety and well-being of the wildlife around us. At no time (unless you are at Promontory’s dog park) is your pet to be unleashed.
• Coyotes are not uncommon and from time to time we can also have cougars. It is important that we all take the time to educate ourselves about living with wildlife. The State of Utah DNR has a great website that does just that. Should you ever see coyotes, badgers, or cougars here at Promontory, please call or email Joe Ellis and let him know the location so that we may report such sightings to the DNR immediately for advice and help.
