9 A presentation by: Paul Campbell

10 Leave No Trace (LNT) is: Not a set of rules Not just a program An attitude A way of life

11 The Outdoor Code As an American, I will do my best to Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate in the outdoors, and Be conservation-minded

14 Seven Points To LNT Plan Ahead and Prepare Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces Dispose of Waste Properly (Pack It In, Pack It Out) Leave What You Find Minimize Campfire Impacts Respect Wildlife Be Considerate of Other Visitors

15 Plan Ahead and Prepare Know regulations and special concerns. Prepare for extreme situations. Avoid times of high use. Visit in small groups. Use map and compass to eliminate marking.

16 Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces Use established trails, campsites, rock, gravel, dry grass and snow. Protect riparian areas by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams. Good campsites are found not made. Do not alter.

17 In popular areas: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites. Walk single file in the middle of the trail, even when wet and muddy. Keep campsites small. Focus activity where vegetation is absent.

18 In pristine areas: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces Disperse use to prevent the creation of campsites and trails. Avoid places where impacts are just beginning.

19 Dispose of Waste Properly (Pack it in, pack it out). Deposit human waste in catholes dug 6-8 inches deep, 200 feet from water, camp and trails. -Keep vegetation or soil to disguise cathole when finished. Pack out toilet paper and hygiene products. Carry dish or bathing water 200 feet from water, camp and trails to dispose. -Strain dishwater. -Use small amounts of biodegradable soap. -Scatter wastewater when finished.

20 Rule of 200 s Go 200 feet from water, trails and camp.

21 Leave What You Find Preserve the past Avoid introducing or transporting nonnative species. Do not build structures or furniture, or dig trenches

22 Minimize Campfire Impacts Use light weight stoves for cooking and enjoy a candle lantern for light. Where fire is permitted, use established fire ring, a fire pan, or a mound fire lay. Keep fires small. Use sticks from ground that can be broken by hand. Remove partially burned garbage, including leftovers. Burn all wood and coals to ash, put out campfires completely, then scatter ashes.

23 Respect Wildlife Observe from a distance. Never feed animals. Store food and trash securely. Leave pets at home. Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: -mating, nesting, raising young, or wintertime.

24 Be Considerate of Other Visitors Be courteous. Yield to others on the trail. Step downhill side of trail when encountering horseback riders. Take breaks and set up camp away from trails and other visitors. Let nature s sounds prevail. Be quiet.

25 Teaching LNT In teaching LNT the student needs to have a purpose to live it. As the teacher, you can help people understand their connection to the environment.

26 Loveof: Beauty Trees Fun Plants relax Water Animals History Interest in Learning of Nature Earth Oneness With Nature Fun L e is u re Discovery Need for a challenge
