Lesson 1: The Leave No Trace Seven Principles

PRINCIPLE 1: PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE

• Before going to a place, check if your plan activity is permitted. Make sure to know
the rules, guidelines, and safety procedures they have set. Some places require
certain permits or clearance.
• Make sure you have the needed equipment for your activity and the skills needed to
undertake the activity.
• Plan how to cope in case of emergency arises.
• Check the weather forecast and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
• Learn when areas are most crowded and try to avoid those times.
• To minimize environmental impact and for safety reasons, keep group number small.
• Repack food to minimize waste.
• When trekking, maps and compass must be used to avoid markings or leaving marks
on rocks and the like.
PRINCIPLE 2: TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES
• Walk, run, bike or camp on durable surfaces like established Tracks, rocks gravel
and dry grasses.
• Avoid walking on soft surface like soft plants. You might be trampling on a young tree
Or pasture and this will cause vegetation damage.
• Use Existing trails or campsites, no need to build a new campsite that will alter
environment.
• To avoid erosion walk in single file in the middle of the trail.
• Avoid places where impacts are just beginning to show.

• When camping, keep the campsite small and discrete.
• Camp at least 200 Feet from lakes and rivers to protect the waters.

PRINCIPLE 3: DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY

• “Pack it in, pack it out” means everything you brought should be brought back with
you including left over food or fruit peel. Nothing should be left.
• When camping, cat holes are dug (6-8 inches deep) for human waste and covered just
the same with soil and weeds or leaves on top.
• Dishes should be washed 200 feet away from lakes and rivers and use biodegradable
soap. Scatter strained dishwater.
PRINCIPLE 4: LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND
• Examine archeological structures, old walls and other heritage artifacts but do not
touch nor leave marks on them.
• Leave nature as you found them. Do not take any plant, rock, plants or marine
animal with you.
• Avoid introducing non-native Plants and animals.
• Do not build structures, furniture or dig trenches.
PRINCIPLE 5: MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACT
• Use lightweight stove for cooking: campfires can cause lasting impacts.
• If fires are permitted, use fire rings or mound fires that are already set-up.
• Keep fires small and use only sticks from the ground that can be broken by hand.
• No burning of plastics or other substances that emit toxic fumes.
• Burn all wood to ash and make sure fires are completely out. Scatter the cool ash.
PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECT WILDLIFE
• Observed wild animals from a distance and they should be avoided during sensitive
time such as mating, nesting or raising the young.
• Do not feed wild animals or birds as it is not their natural food. The food might
damage their health or alter their natural behaviors and even expose them to
predators.
• Protect wildlife and protect your food as well by storing and securing the trash well.
• In case you decide to bring your pets along, make sure it is allowed and you can
control them. Otherwise, do not bring them with you.
PRINCIPLE 7: BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHER VISITORS
• Respect people who live and work in the countryside.
• Respect other visitors and let them have a momentous experience as well.
• Allow the sound of nature to prevail, not your noise or your radio.
• Be courteous; yield to others on a trail.
• Camp away from trails and other visitors.
