Leave No Trace
Leave No Trace (LNT) is a set of outdoor ethics promoting conservation in the outdoors built on seven core principles that are used to communicate how to minimize impact while enjoying the outdoors. These Principles are the most robust and widely utilized minimum impact outdoor practices. These can be applied anywhere - from the backcountry, to local parks, to your backyard - and for any recreational activity.
