Principles: Leave No Trace

By Lou Yuhasz on April 26th, 2007

In honor of Earth Day, The outdoor weblog has an interesting piece outlining the principles of leave no trace

As an outdoor enthusiast, I fully endorse these principles, as I’m sure most of us do. It’s important to leave or favorite locations the same way we found it for the next person. We beleive in conservation and preservation for the next guy.

But more importantly, we should be concerned about educating the non-sporting public about what we do and believe. I’ve been follwing a discussion on rock climbing in Mill Creek park in RockClimbing.com It’s been interesting primarily because climbing is not allowed in Mill Creek… These dedicated individuals are trying to change public perseption and policy. And to do that, they are presenting themselves as professionally as they can.

Shouldn’t we all?
