Leave No Trace
Frontcountry Guidelines
As more peop~ use parks and recreation facilities,
LEAVENO TRACE guidelines become even more important for outdoor visitors.
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more
concerned about their environment and to help them protect it for future generations. Leave No Trace applies in a
backyard or local park (frontcountry) as much as it does in
the wilderness (backcountry).
We should practice Leave No Trace in our attitude and
actions-wherever we go. Understanding nature strength-
ens our respect toward the environment. One person with
thoughtless behavior or one shortcut on a trail can spoil
the outdoor experience for others.
Help protect the environment by remembering that
while you are there, you are a visitor. When you visit the
outdoors, take special care of the area. Leave everything
just as you find it.
Hiking and camping without a trace are signs of a
considerate outdoorsman who cares for the environment.
Travel lightly on the land.

Make sure your pet is on a
leash or controlled at all times. Do not let your pet approach
or chase wild Iife. When animals are chased or disturbed, they
change eating patterns and use more energy that may result
in poor health or death.
Take care of your pet's waste. Take a small shovel or scoop and
a pick-up bag to pick up your pet's waste- wherever it's left.
Place the waste bags in a trash can for disposal.
Make sure all trash is put in a bag or trash receptacle.
Trash is
unsightly and ruins everyone's outdoor experience. Yourtrash
can kill wildlife. Even materials, such as orange peels, apple
cores and food scraps, take years to break down and may
attract unwanted pests that could become a problem.
