Webinar: #RecreateResponsibly This Summer

Wednesday, June 24th @ 7pm EST/4pm PST

In July and August — the heart of the summer season — millions of people will flock to campgrounds, beaches, trails and rivers to soak in some nature. Our panel of experts will provide crucial insights for getting out—from close to home to the backcountry. Topics range from finding the ideal outside area, what you need to bring, and how to plan for a responsible, enjoyable outing. Join Leave No Trace staff and our guest panelists for an hour of practical, actionable advice from outdoor professionals.
