No one wants to lose opportunities to enjoy our public lands and there are no easy fixes to the problems associated with outdoor recreation, but there are solutions—which is where Tread Lightly! comes in.
Our goal is to balance the needs of the people who enjoy outdoor recreation with our need to maintain a healthy environment and Tread Lightly!’s leading the way to help remedy current and future recreation issues. The program is positive and something in which all who are involved can be proud of, but we need your support.
