At Leave No Trace, we understand the importance of preserving and protecting our natural spaces, and we believe that everyone has a role to play in making this happen. That’s why we are dedicated to educating the public about the best practices for enjoying the outdoors responsibly, so that we can all help to keep our natural areas clean and healthy.

Understanding the Problem

Littered natural areas are a major concern in Australia. From abandoned camping gear and discarded food packaging to cigarette butts and plastic waste, the impact of human activities on our wild places is becoming increasingly evident. Not only does this damage the aesthetic of these areas, but it can also pose a threat to wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole.

When we leave our waste behind, it can take hundreds of years to decompose, harming the environment and wildlife in the meantime. In some cases, animals may ingest this waste, leading to injury or death. This is a problem that affects not only our own backyard, but also the entire planet.

Leave No Trace’s Solution

At Leave No Trace, we believe that education is key to solving this problem. That’s why we work hard to provide the public with the tools and resources they need to understand the impact of their actions on the environment, and to make informed decisions about how to reduce that impact.

Through our program, we provide comprehensive training to individuals, organizations, and communities, so that they can make a positive impact in their local area. We believe that by empowering people with the knowledge and skills they need to be responsible outdoor enthusiasts, we can help to keep our natural areas clean and healthy for generations to come.

We also work closely with local authorities and park managers to develop policies and programs that encourage responsible behavior in our natural areas. By working together, we can ensure that everyone is doing their part to reduce the impact of litter and other human activities on our wild places.

Why is it important to keep natural areas free from litter?

Litter in natural areas can harm wildlife and the ecosystem, as well as damage the aesthetic of these spaces. By keeping these areas free from litter, we can help to preserve them for future generations.
