I practice, support, and promote Leave no Trace.

The seven principles are good guidelines for our personal conduct as we venture into the outdoors.     I have taken the pledge and actively help out in a number of ways:

• adding Leave no Trace ideas to all posts on this website
• leading hikes, paddles, and snowshoe outings for groups and promote the ideas each time
• picking up garbage, disposing of garbage and recyclables appropriately,  attending to campfires, and helping out on trails, trailheads, launch spots, etc.
• parking appropriately
• passing quietly, leaving nothing but ephemeral footprints

Lets encourage others to also follow Leave no Trace principles.
