‘No jogging’ — You can walk but you can’t run at three national wildlife refuges in the Willamette Valley and new signs are warning visitors of the rule, according to the (Salem) Statesman Journal. A “no jogging” sign has been put up at a popular trailhead at Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge, and the regulations also apply at Ankeny and William L. Finley refuges. “One of the challenges with jogging is that it could have an adverse impact on wildlife in the process of breeding,” said Miel Corbett, deputy assistant regional director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
