Whether you like to hike, camp, picnic, snowshoe, run, bike, hunt, paddle, fish, ski or climb in Alaska, it is important to practice the principles of Leave No Trace. This ethical program helps educate those who recreate outdoors on how to reduce impacts on the land, wildlife, and other visitors. With care, we can enjoy Alaska's wild lands while preserving them for generations to come!
The Leave No Trace Code of Ethics:
1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
4. Leave What You Find
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
6. Respect Wildlife
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
