LEAVE

NO
TRACE
 Have you taken a
seashell from the shore?
A pinecone from the forest?
Or left an apple core behind?
No big deal, right?
Now imagine hundreds,
thousands, potentially millions
of outdoor visitors all doing
the same.

Different story. . . .
As our presence in the wild
lands increases so does the
evidence of our visits.
Water pollution, displaced
wildlife, trampled vegetation,
and eroded soil can all result,
ironically, from our love of
the natural world and our
desire to experience it.
 Leave No Trace . . .
is a national and international
program designed to assist
outdoor enthusiasts with their
decisions about how to reduce
their impacts when they
hike, camp, picnic, run, bike, hunt,
paddle, ride horses, fish, or climb.
Leave No Trace is an
awareness and an attitude—
not a set of rules and
regulations.
It applies to your backyard or
local park (front country) as
much as the backcountry.
You would never think of
trampling your neighbor's
flowers, putting soap in your
drinking water, or carving
your name on your garage
door.
When you visit other natural
environments, the same
principles apply.
 Leave No Trace . . .

is an educational and
ethical program designed to help
backcountry recreationists

their impact on the land.
