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.

Enfrentar os desafios mais significativos do nosso ambiente exige uma ação contínua, o que só é possível com o apoio consistente e inabalável de pessoas dedicadas como você.
