Leave No Trace is a common outdoor ethic towards the stewardship of the outdoors land we enjoy.  As it is summer and the time when most people enjoy the outdoors, LNT is the linking the week site for this week.

The ethic of leave no trace is best practiced by following the principles which are widely accepted.  While many of these seem like common sense, even on a dayhike it is not uncommon to see people doing the exact opposite of what is stated in the principles.  Take the time to check out the principles before your next journey whether hiking, camping, mountain biking, snowshoeing or anything else in the open spaces we enjoy.
