5 Tips to Reduce Your Camping Footprint
1. Set your tent on a durable surface. Avoid pitching your tent on top of vegetation, particularly for trips lasting more than a single night.
2. Clear all traces of your campfire when you leave.
3. Pack out and dispose of waste properly.
4. Don't take anything with you but take everything you brought.
5. Don't feed wildlife.
