Support the Future of the Outdoors

Be a part of the Solution

The outdoors faces growing pressures every day—from overuse and pollution to climate change and habitat loss. Leave No Trace is meeting those challenges head-on through science, education, and stewardship. But lasting change takes people like you.

Your support powers the research, training, and outreach that prevent damage before it happens. Together, we can ensure a sustainable future for the outdoors and the planet.

Relever les défis les plus importants de notre environnement nécessite une action continue, qui n’est possible qu’avec le soutien constant et indéfectible de personnes dévouées comme vous.
