NPS Photo Leave No Trace (LNT) selects Spotlight locations across the country to support parks, forests, public lands, nonprofits, and partners working to restore spaces to their natural beauty and ensure their long-term protection. This year, the LNT Traveling Team will be at Lake Mead National Recreation Area on October 29-31 to work with the community and local land agencies to deliver Leave No Trace education as well as support critical restoration and stewardship projects. “The Spotlight program is an amazing way to highlight the power of a community and the steps they can take to protect the outdoor areas they love,” states Dana Watts, the Executive Director of Leave No Trace. “This program puts conservation into action, and the 3-day Spotlight led by LNT staff focuses on workshops, Leave No Trace education, and community engagement to ensure that every Spotlight host is left with the tools necessary to continue to protect and conserve the areas around them.” There are a few events to choose from. From a fun night of trivia learning about Lake Mead and how to protect it, to a stewardship event to clean up Goldstrike Canyon, there’s something for everyone. Individuals, families, and groups of all ages are welcome. Click on the links below to learn more about each event. |
