The 7 Principles can be hard to remember, but the 7 Principles Hand Signals make learning the principles easy, fun, and approachable for all ages. They can be taught as part of a larger Leave No Trace lesson or workshop or as their own activity.
Plan Ahead & Prepare
Travel & Camp on Durable Surfaces
Dispose of Waste Properly
Leave What You Find
Minimize Campfire Impacts
Respect Wildlife
Be Considerate of Others
There are many other variations of the hand signals and we encourage creativity in making your own versions. The important part is making Leave No Trace fun and having an easy way to remember the 7 Principles.
Commit to learning, practicing, and sharing Leave No Trace this April. It takes 30 seconds and helps protect the places you love.
