    Leave no trace. Let no one know you’ve been.

    From the website: [Leave No Trace] accomplishes its mission by providing innovative education, skills and research to help people care for the outdoors. By working with the public and those managing public lands, the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics focuses on educating people—instead of costly restoration programs or access restrictions—as the most effective and least resource-intensive solution to land protection.

    As a proud partner of Leave No Trace, PPFF is happy to provide a selection of some of the organization’s social media and other materials. Use them. Enjoy them. Share them!

    The basics of what you need to know, collectively and in individually downloadable (and Facebook/Instagram shareable) small bites:
    The Basics

     

    Need any specific information or guidance, training or additional resources? Get in touch with us. This handy “common sense” fact sheet outlines the basic Leave No Trace guidelines for a Pennsylvania park or forest outing.

    Our Lunch & Learn with Monika and David of the Leave No Trace training team is a great introduction to the basics of the 7 Principles. (Hint: start viewing at 2:20 to skip the silence of everyone getting settled in!)
