A Guide to the New Wilderness Etiquette
Leave No Trace
Beyond cleaning up your trash and not cutting down trees for firewood, how far should you go to minimize your impact on wilderness lands? What is really important, and what is too extreme? Annette McGivney provides thoughtful answers based on scientific research. She presents practical tips and techniques tailored for hikers, climbers, backcountry skiers, mountain bikers, equestrians, sea kayakers, canoeists, and rafters. And most importantly, there are tips for teaching Leave No Trace practices to children and others.
PRAISE FOR LEAVE NO TRACE
"This little book should be required reading for every one of the ever-growing number of people looking for recreation in our finite wilderness. The author combines a sane approach to backcountry ethics with practical advice on topics like, well, using the bathroom in the woods."
― Los Angeles Daily News
"Leave No Trace should be mandatory reading for all backpackers, campers, hunters, and hikers."
― Idaho Statesman
This book is a must for anyone using the outdoors, even if you think you're familiar with LNT practices. I know you'll find something you haven't practiced in its 187 pages with plenty of pictures and illustrations.
