Be Like a Bigfoot and Leave No Trace!

Description

As spring unfolds and the weather brightens up, more and more people are getting outside—just as the ground becomes mud and trails are at their most vulnerable. Come learn about or get a refresher on the Leave No Trace principles, and enjoy some fun games and activities for all ages while developing your personal outdoor ethic using these seven simple guidelines. Activities will include a river-crossing game to learn about durable hiking surfaces, identifying trees while blindfolded, and making s’mores to learn about minimizing campsite impacts. What to Bring: Please bring hiking attire that can get muddy, as trail conditions are highly variable this time of year. Bringing your own backpacks and camping equipment to practice preparing for a trip is optional but encouraged; participants will be able to leave these in their vehicles after the activity and will not have to carry them for the whole program.
