Leave No Trace

There is an organization that emphasizes low-impact hunting, camping, boating and fishing. The group, called Leave No Trace, uses its resources to research, educate and partner on the issue of conserving the natural environment.

The seven core principles of Leave No Trace are...

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
4. Leave What You Find
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
6. Respect Wildlife
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors

The website lists workshops and classes on how to spend time in the wild without negatively effecting the wild. You can check it all out here.

I encourage you to join this organization. Its got a great mission and some really interesting material on their website. Its always smart to make sure the recreation you enjoy isn't destroyed while you're enjoying it!
