Our free summer tech clinic series continues on Tuesday, 8/5/2025 at 6pm at Uphill Pursuits. If you can, please RSVP here so we can estimate number of attendees. Forgot to RSVP? You can still attend!
Between a dramatic increase in outdoor recreation on public land and budget cuts to land management agencies, it's important to consider the impact we have on the environment and other individuals during a day of climbing, running, or any other outdoor pursuit. Some of those choices include where we recreate, what we leave behind, and how we treat others. Approaching these situations with a Leave No Trace mindset means reducing our impact and fostering an inclusive and welcoming space.
It's important to remember that we all experience nature in different ways. Leave No Trace education is meant to suggest guidelines, not hard and fast rules. This Leave No Trace clinic will introduce decision-making framework informed by the following:
Knowledge of natural systems and how humans impact them, especially in large numbers
Skills that reduce human-caused impacts
Gear and tools that help you practice Leave No Trace
Join us on Tuesday, 8/5 at 6:00pm!
