 Sustainability Nowby Terry Heller There’s a Movement going on, and the signs are appearing everywhere:
My local County Fair is edging out Fried Twinkies in favor of a cornucopia of fresh mint, peaches, peppers and other exotic California bounty bursting forth from the fairground’s organic garden. The State has even bestowed a grant to triple the size of the garden by next year and start a horticulture program for school children. The local fair is returning to a celebration of its agrarian roots!

 Sustainability Nowby Terry Heller The future of wilderness camping, hikes and other sustainable outdoor recreation depends on more people adopting the principles of “Leave No Trace” camping. The core principal is that no one should know you’ve been there after you’ve gone. This means no litter, no smoldering fire pits, no ripped up grass, crushed bushes or re-positioned boulders. It also means staying on the marked trail, never picking plants, flowers or berries, and never harming or disturbing wildlife–endangered or not.
Following these simple principles will not only enhance your experience of the wild, but will secure that experience for the next visitor and the next generation. |
