Help Your Kids Plan Ahead and Prepare
Help foster preparedness in your young outdoor enthusiasts with the Leave No Trace Kid's Principle: Know Before You Go. Set aside a bin that is accessible to your kids where they have an assortment of gear to select from when an outdoor outing is in the schedule. A good starting bin might include: water bottle, sun hat, sunscreen, bug repellent, boots, rain gear, binoculars, compass, Leave No Trace hangtag, kids' camera, whistle, paper / pencil and simple field guides.

While playing with neighborhood friends you notice they often smoosh bugs, break branches, or tear leaves off of plants as part of their fun. You've just learned about Leave No Trace and remember the principle Leave What You Find. How can you share the importance of this idea with your friends? What would you do? Please ask your children or students and let us know how they respond at enews@LNT.org
