Trace Ireland
Leave
No Trace Ireland is a network of organisations and individuals with an interest in
promoting the responsible recreational use of the outdoors. As increasing numbers of
people seek the beauty and exhilaration of outdoor recreation, our collective mark on the
environment and its natural processes, increases. Litter, disturbance to vegetation, water
pollution, wildlife, livestock and other people are all indicators of the need to develop
a national ethic that protects both natural and cultural heritage. Techniques designed to
minimise the social and environmental impacts to these areas are incorporated into the
Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethics Education Programme.
The Seven Principles of Leave No Trace:
At
the heart of Leave No Trace are seven principles for reducing the damage caused by outdoor
activities. These are:
- Plan Ahead and
Prepare
- Be Considerate
of Others
- Respect Farm
Animals and Wildlife
- Travel and Camp
on Durable Ground
- Leave What You
Find
- Dispose of
Waste Properly
- Minimise the
Effects of Fire
Leave
No Trace Ireland promotes and inspires responsible outdoor recreation through education,
research and partnerships. The programme strives to build awareness, appreciation and
respect for Ireland's natural and cultural heritage and is dedicated to creating a
nationally recognised and accepted outdoor ethic that promotes personal responsibility.
It
encourages all outdoor enthusiasts (e.g. walkers, mountain bikers, canoeists,
orienteerers, horse riders) to do their part to maintain those lands used by the public
for the benefit of the environment and for future generations.
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. |
