Simply living in Flagstaff means that nature is around every corner. Hiking, fishing, swimming, mountain biking and kayaking are just a few ways that you can embrace the outdoors. But how often do you give back to the environment? This fall, there are many opportunities to volunteer your time to keep Flagstaff pristine, so you’re doing more than just leaving no trace.
“Leave No Trace� is a code of ethics that encourages outdoor explorers to clean up after themselves in attempts to minimize their negative impacts on nature. Leave No Trace has seven core principles: plan ahead and prepare, travel and camp on durable surfaces, dispose of waste properly, leave what you find, minimize campfire impacts, respect wildlife and be considerate to others. While it is important for hikers, campers and overlanders of all sorts to follow these principles, there is always more than can be done. Give back to nature with one of these fall volunteer cleanups.
