The 7 Leave No Trace Principles
Join Environmental Educators Olivia and Magnolia as they introduce the 7 Leave No Trace Principles! Olivia is a Level 1 certified LNT instructor that has had plenty of experience following these principles while camping and backpacking!
Magnolia and Olivia recently visited the University at Albany campus and presented about Leave No Trace for UAlbany's 17 Rooms of Service event, which is part of freshman orientation. The 17 rooms that students could choose from each represented one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This presentation was used to represent Goal 15 - Life on Land. For more information on the UN's SDGs, check out this link: sdgs.un.org/goals. Now, we're very excited to bring this presentation to you at home!
