Did you know there was SEVEN Leave No Trace Principles? I think most of us when we hear “leave no trace” we instantly think of principle three, Dispose of Waste Properly, which deals with trash among other things. But there is more for us to learn and action on together while we spend time in the great outdoors.
According to NPS, these principles were established by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and built on work by the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management in the mid 1980s and the relationship continues today. The principles are based on and informed by scientific research in the fields of recreation ecology and human dimension of natural resources. To learn more go to: www.LNT.org
In todays post we will introduce all seven principles. Then in future posts we will talk about even principle individually.
Seven Principles of Leave No Trace:
1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
4. Leave What You Find
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
6. Respect Wildlife
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
Together we can do our part to protect our natural world.
