7 Principles of Leave No Trace
Principles of Leave No Trace
More substantive information on each of the principles is contained
in the Skills and Ethics
booklet – Australian edition
The following information within these seven principles is
recommended as a guide to minimise the impact of your visits
to the natural and cultural heritage areas of Australia. Leave
No Trace depends more on attitude and awareness than
on rules and regulations.
Minimum impact travel and outdoor recreation practices must
be flexible and tempered by judgement and experience. Techniques
are continually evolving and improving. The general rule is
to consider the variables of each area in terms of culture,
wildlife, vegetation, soil, climate, and use that it receives.
Then, use this information to determine which recommended practices
to apply.
