Leave No Trace Comes to GHC

Workshop Promotes Outdoor Ethics

Student environmental group Green Highlands hosted traveling educators from Leave No Trace on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 12:30 and 6:30 p.m. at the new student center.  Leave No Trace is a national organization that promotes outdoor ethics and responsibility.  The hour-long program showed attendees how to maintain a pristine outdoor environment as they hike, camp and enjoy the outdoors. 

Leave No Trace is a member-driven organization that teaches people of all ages how to enjoy the outdoor environment more responsibly.  It tries to build and support community-based membership and education-driven programs for young people, who comprise the next generation of environmental stewards.  The organization also promotes its practices in close-to-home and day-use areas, because these are the places most people frequent for recreation.
