JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Fourth of July weekend is busy for outdoor enthusiasts.

The North Dakota Game & Fish Department is reminding citizens that some camping restrictions have been lifted for the holiday, but fireworks remain strictly prohibited.

Wildlife Biologist Doug Leier says they have lifted some camping restrictions to allow for some overnight camping on wildlife management areas that may have otherwise been prohibited.

A complete list of WMA regulations is available on the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov.

Leier adds that if you are spending some time outdoors to keep it clean and pack out all of your trash.

All garbage, including used fireworks, should be placed in a proper trash receptacle. If trash cans aren’t available, or full, dispose of trash at home.

Tires, mattresses and kitchen appliances have found their way to public use areas. This illegal dumping is costly to clean up and takes a significant toll on the environment. Not only does it spoil the beauty of the land, it destroys habitat, has the potential to pollute North Dakota waters and can injure wildlife.
