Leave No Trace
Campers must practice "Leave No Trace" principles when camping on BLM lands as it ensures every individual takes responsibility for their environmental impact. Some of these principles include packing out all trash and litter, leaving the campsite as you found it, properly disposing of human waste, and minimizing campfire impact. Allowing trash and garbage to pile up can harm the ecosystem and threaten wildlife. Moreover, improperly disposing of human waste can contaminate the water sources in the area, making them unsafe for drinking and recreation. Therefore, campers and outdoor enthusiasts must take responsibility for their actions and clean up after themselves to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the BLM lands.
