While hunting season is in full swing, the Needham Police Department would like to remind all walkers and hikers of the following safety tips:

• When hiking in the woods, wear orange-colored clothing. An orange hat and vest are important safety features for any hiker. 
• Avoid walking at dusk, which is a difficult time of day for visibility.
• Choose well marked and worn trails. It is better to stick to established trails and limit any off-trail or dense woods hiking. 
• Always carry a cell phone.
