10. Know four ways to keep the wilderness beautiful.

  • Pick up litter.
  • Stay on the trail.
  • Use "Leave no Trace" camping techniques.
  • Write letters to your elected government representatives about environmental issues.
  • Prefer pollution-free recreation activities (biking and hiking over ATV's, canoes and kayaks over motor boats and jet skis, cross country skis over snow mobiles).
  • Take only pictures, leave only footprints. That means you don't pick wildflowers or destroy plants. It's generally OK to harvest the fruiting body of a plant (i.e., berries).
  • Use a camp stove instead of a campfire when camping. This will eliminate the need to gather firewood and will not leave a fire ring.
