In episode 16 of series four on hiking basics, I focus on Leave No Trace and recreating responsibly, previewing an Earth Series cohort starting September 1 in partnership with Leave No Trace that includes trail stewardship and a free course with a certificate, plus our $5 donation per challenge and trash-collecting bags from Deuter. I cover the seven principles: plan ahead, stay on durable surfaces, pack out waste (including pet waste and hygiene items), leave what you find, minimize fire impacts, respect wildlife, and be considerate of others, along with notes on graffiti, rock cairns, carbon footprint, and hiking with kids.
