Taking care of the beautiful resources that God has given us is a vital part of
Outdoor recreation. Each year thousands upon thousands of acres are damaged and
destroyed by humans. Fires, erosion, pollution, overuse and carelessness ruin
national treasures and threaten wildlife species & ecosystems. All Lee
University Campus Recreation practices and teaches Leave No Trace on all
excursions. Help us preserve the environment that we are blessed with when you
head for the great outdoors.
Practicing a Leave No Trace ethic is simple:
- Make it hard for others to see or hear you and Leave No Trace of your
visit.
- Remove all garbage and trash. Pack it in, Pack it out.
- Leave vegetation intact. Picking flowers, hacking trees, and chipping
rocks disturb the natural ecosystem. Please leave them for others to enjoy.
- Preserve water quality. Avoid camping within 200 feet of a water source.
Don't wash clothes, or dishes, dump garbage, or deposit waste material in
any springs, streams, lakes or rivers.
- Always treat water before drinking.
- Stay on designated trails. Avoid shortcuts across switchbacks and other
unmarked areas.
- Use existing fire rings. Gather only dead and down wood. Keep your
campfire small.
- Before leaving, make sure your fire is completely out.
