Griff Danheim, Houston, TX State Advocate
I live in Houston, Texas. I hope to raise the awareness of Leave No Trace in my state by coordinating efforts with federal, state, county and municipal groups to develop long term plans, programs and assist with employee/volunteer training. The ranks of trained LNT resources in the state are growing and I am working to ensure that everyone is aware of opportunities to provide outreach. Currently I am working with Texas Parks and Wildlife to coordinate training for their new Outdoor Family program which teaches families new to the outdoors and camping the proper methods of enjoying out great outdoors. We attend the Texas Parks and Wildlife EXPO annually and enjoy exposure to thousands of people interested in the outdoors and the Leave No Trace Principles.
