Leave No Trace Guidance for Recreating in Restoration Areas

This Leave No Trace information is designed to provide guidance for recreating in areas that are undergoing restoration efforts. Climate change, catastrophic wildfire, bark beetle infestation, invasive species, record droughts, and other stressors threaten the health of our forest and watersheds, and the people that rely on them. As areas affected by such stressors undergo natural or agency-led restoration efforts, following the recommendations below can help protect you and the land. Click the button above to learn more.

These guidelines were developed in partnership with the Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers, a proud Leave No Trace Community Partner.
