What is Leave No Trace?

Leave No Trace" means that when we go outside and enjoy nature, we should make sure we don’t leave behind any mess or harm the environment.

It’s like visiting a friend’s house—you want to be respectful, clean up after yourself, and leave everything just as nice as you found it!

How do we practice Leave No Trace?

There are 7 main principles everyone should follow to protect the environment!

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare

Pack everything you need such as a jacket, water, sunscreen, snacks, and anything else you may need!

2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces

Stay on paths or trails and camp in places where people have already camped. This way, you won’t hurt the plants and soil!

3. Dispose of Waste Properly

If you have trash, take it with you. Don’t leave it on the ground! Even small things like candy wrappers or bottle caps should be thrown away.
