No matter what recreation opportunity you take part in, we want you to be prepared for your activity before you go. Millions of people visit public lands each year. It is the responsibility of each person to develop a personal set of outdoor ethics and plan for a fun and safe adventure.
Each of us plays a vital role in protecting our national parks. As we spend time outdoors, in the natural world and in wilderness, it's important to be conscious of the effects our actions may have on plants, animals, other people, and even entire ecosystems. Following the Leave No Trace Seven Principles can help us minimize those impacts.
