"We don't need a map, I've got google maps"

“It's just a shortcut. What's the worst that could happen?”

“It's biodegradable, toss it.”

“It's a couple of flowers. Nobody will notice.”

“The fire's basically out. Let's go.”

"We can leave the dog off-leash. It'll be fine."

“Turn up the music!”

The scariest part? These are all avoidable.

Practice the 7 principles and make sure your next outdoor adventure doesn't turn into a horror story.

With municipal and provincial elections taking place across the country over the next two months, it’s a good time to reflect on our civic responsibilities! 🗳️

Your voice matters, especially when it comes to protecting the outdoors. This is your opportunity to speak up for the places you love, advocate for responsible outdoor recreation, and make sure decision-makers hear your concerns.

Outdoor recreation supports our health, strengthens our communities, and contributes to a thriving economy. The decisions we make today will help shape the future of these places.

This is why we !

Less than two months ago, we posted about the dangers of putting too much trust in Google Maps and AI when planning outdoor adventures. We’re glad this individual wasn’t hurt, but incidents like this are a reminder of why Leave No Trace Principle #1: Plan Ahead and Prepare is so important.

AI and digital maps can be useful tools, but they shouldn’t be your only source of information when heading into the backcountry.

Know before you go, and don’t let technology replace good judgment.

Seriously.

Some people think that p**p will magically disappear when it’s left outdoors.

It doesn’t.

Use toilets, thunderboxes, WAG bags, or dig a hole. Just don’t leave it.

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.

Across Canada, the places where we hike, paddle, camp, climb and explore are on the traditional and contemporary territories of Indigenous Peoples. These lands hold histories, cultures, responsibilities and relationships that long predate the parks, trails and recreation areas we know today.

Responsible recreation means more than leaving a place as we found it. It means learning whose territory we are visiting, respecting Indigenous rights and cultural sites, following guidance from Indigenous communities, and acknowledging the histories that have shaped the places we live, work, and play.

At Leave No Trace Canada, we strive to promote principles that help steward the outdoors in a way that shows respect for both the land and for the Nations who have been the stewards of these lands since time immemorial.

Today, we encourage our community to listen, learn and reflect on how we can continue reconciliation, both on and off the trail.

OH MY GOD. THIS IS WHY WE .

Principle 3: Dispose of waste properly. The outdoors isn’t your personal trashcan.

Pack it in, pack it out.

You might want to watch where you stand… 👀

When viewing wildlife, use the rule of thumb (literally!) as a general guide:

👍 Hold your thumb up at arm’s length, close one eye, and see if you can completely cover the animal with your thumb.

If you can’t, you’re too close. Take a few steps back and try again.

Giving wildlife plenty of space helps keep both you and the animal safe. 🐻

Follow the 6th Principle: Respect Wildlife.

Happy Labour Day long weekend!

Ahead of one of the busiest weekends of the year for our parks and outdoor spaces, it’s a good time to remind everyone of the 7th Principle: Respect others. While it's important to be respectful to everyone who shares these outdoor spaces, it is also important to acknowledge the people behind the scenes who work in these spaces.

From park staff and trail crews to volunteers and local organizations, countless people work year-round to maintain, protect and preserve these spaces.

This long weekend, we encourage you to give back to the people and places that we adore.

🤝 Donate to your local trail association
🦺 Attend a volunteer event
🙌 Encourage others to recreate responsibly
❤️ Thank the people working on and off the trail
