Taken from the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics ’ official website, the principles are as follows: Principle 1: Plan ahead of time and Prepare - Before going to a place, check if your planned activity is permitted. Make sure to know the rules, guidelines, and safety procedures they have set. Some places require certain permits or clearances. Make sure you have the needed equipment for your activity and the skills needed to undertake the activity. - Plan how to cope when emergency arises.

26. - Check the weather forecast and be prepared for changing weather conditions. - Learn when areas are most crowded and try to avoid those times. - To minimize environmental impact and for safety reasons, keep group numbers small. Repack food to minimize waste. -When trekking, maps and compass must be used to avoid markings or leaving of marks on rocks and the like.

27. Principle 2: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces - W alk, run, bike, or camp on durable surfaces like established tracks, rocks, gravel, and dry grasses. Avoid walking on soft surfaces like soft plants. You might be trampling on a young tree or pasture and this will cause vegetation damage. - Use existing trails or campsites, no need to build a new campsite that will alter the environment.

28. To avoid erosion, walk in single file in the middle of the trail. Avoid places where impacts are just beginning to show. When camping, keep the campsite small and discreet. - Camp at least 200 feet from the lakes and rivers to protect the waters

29. Principle 3: Dispose Waste Properly “ Pack it in, pack it out ” means everything you brought should be brought back with you including left-over food or fruit peel. Nothing should be left. When camping, cat holes are dug (6-8 inches deep) for human waste and covered just the same with soil and weeds or leaves on top. - Dishes should be washed 200 feet away from lakes or rivers and use biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater.

30. Principle 4: Leave What You Find - Use lightweight stove for cooking; campfires can cause lasting impacts. - If fires are permitted, use fire rings or mound fires that are already set-up. - Keep fires small and use only sticks from the ground that can be broken by hand. No burning of plastics or other substances that emit toxic fumes . Burn all wood to ash and make sure fires are completely out. Scatter the cool ash

31. Principle 6: Respect Wildlife - Observe wild animals from a distance and they should be avoided during sensitive times such as mating, nesting, or rising the young. - Do not feed wild animals or birds as it is not their natural food. The food might damage their health or alter their natural behaviors and even expose them to predators. - Protect wildlife and protect your food as well by storing and securing the trash well. - In case you decide to bring your pets along, make sure it is allowed and you can control them. Otherwise, do not bring them with you.

32. Principle 7: Be considerate of Other Visitors Respect people who live and work in the countryside. - Respect other visitors and let them have a momentous experience as well. - Allow the sound of nature prevail, not your noise or radio. - Be courteous; yield to others on a trail. - Camp away from trails and other visitors
