Leave No Trace
Leave No Trace promotes ethical guidelines meant to conserve public lands so that future generations get their chance to enjoy the outdoors. These principles are intended to ensure that the impact on a natural area of even one visitor is minimized as much as possible. Campers are encouraged to plan ahead so that they’ll know to bring, for example, bear-proof bins and trash bags. Camp sites should be kept small, campfires must be completely extinguished, and all waste must be packed out. Wild animals should be viewed from a distance and never fed. Visitors should leave any objects they come across right where they found them. That includes plants, shells, rocks, arrowheads, and seeds.
