Leave No Trace Hiking Tips

One of the simple ways we can protect the environment is to “leave no trace” on the trails! This helps to keep the natural environment unspoiled and enjoyable for everyone. Here are some specific ways we can do that: 🥾Travel and camp on durable surfaces to protect natural habitats. 🌵Leave what you find to preserve natural and cultural resources. 🔥Minimize campfire impacts by using a stove and keeping fires small and controlled. 🦌Respect wildlife by observing from a distance and not feeding animals. 🤫Be considerate of other visitors by keeping noise levels down and yielding on trails. ⛺️Avoid disturbing natural environments by sticking to trails and established campsites. 🧼Use biodegradable soap and wash 200 feet away from water sources. 🥪Secure food and trash to prevent wildlife from accessing it.
