Tread Lightly and Leave No Trace |
|||||
Leave No Trace is a simple idea: we can visit wild places in a manner that records little or no sign of our passing. Leave No Trace hopes to influence the decisions people make while visiting public lands by educating them about recreational effects on the land and techniques to minimize or prevent impacts. Leave No Trace is best understood as an educational and ethical program, not as a set of rules or regulations. Leave-No-Trace -- Dispose of Waste Properly Minimize Impacts of Waste: Carry out all trash. Leave the wilderness cleaner than you found it. Urinate away from drainages. The Leave No Trace organization advocates putting toilet paper and feces in plastic bags and carrying it out. Otherwise, bury feces and paper in a small hole about 4-8 inches deep and 100 yards from water. Avoid the urge to burn toilet paper, a surprising number of wildfires are started this way. Keep water clean by not putting human waste, soap, food, or trash in water sources.
