A large portion of the proceeds from the Tri-Lakes TRIFECTA directly supports the Leave No Trace Initiative as well as the Adirondack Summit Stewardship Program.
Protect the Outdoors - Leave No Trace
Just because times are tough, doesn't mean the Leave No Trace 7 Principles fly out the window. Our shared spaces need us to act as stewards more than ever. A cumulative impact from every discarded wrapper can devastate a natural area—removing trash is a simple but important and effective act of stewardship. Also... It is important to acknowledge that trail erosion can permanently alter the landscape and is preventable when people adopt Leave No Trace principles.
Remember, it is extremely important to be prepared for changing weather conditions. Also, always keep a safe distance from wildlife, and do your best to eliminate general impacts. For the complete list of the Leave No Trace Seven Principles for the Adirondacks, please visit: https://www.adk.org/discover/leave-no-trace/
We are all in this together.
DID YOU KNOW...
9 out of 10 people in the outdoors are uninformed about their impacts?
Let's change that.
Leave No Trace provides research, education and initiatives so every person who ventures outside can protect and enjoy our world responsibly.
