Treading Lightly
One of the most important things when you start to think about going camping, whether it be spring, summer or winter is treading lightly. I am by no means a “tree-hugger” but I do agree with them that we have a significant impact on the world around us and not always for the positive.
So when you go camping try to make sure you leave the campgrounds better then you found it. This is actually pretty easy to do if you think and plan for it. Extra trash bags, only camp where others have camped before, take a little time to make sure you’re campfire is in a safe and approved area, etc…
Here are a couple more tips:
· Plan Ahead and Prepare
· Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
· Dispose of Waste Properly
· Leave What You Find
· Minimize Campfire Impacts
· Respect Wildlife
· Be Considerate of Other Visitors
