Leave no Trace

Leave No Trace Ireland offers a range of educational opportunities through workshops, certified training courses, events and schools programmes all based upon the 7 Principles.

The Seven Principles of Leave No Trace provide an easily understood framework of minimum impact practices for anyone visiting the outdoors. Although Leave No Trace has its roots in the countryside, the Principles have been adapted so that they can be applied anywhere — from remote areas to local parks and even in your own neighbourhood. They also apply to almost every recreational activity. Each Principle covers a specific topic and provides detailed information for minimising impacts.

The 7 Principles are:

 

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare

 

2. Be Considerate of Others

 

3. Respect Farm Animals and Wildlife

 

4. Travel and Camp Responsibly

 

5. Leave What You Find

 

6. Dispose of Waste Properly

 

7. Protect Nature From Fire

Practising a Leave No trace ethic is very simple: Make it hard for others to see or hear you and LEAVE NO TRACE of your visit.
