The PHP Conservancy is now an official partner of Leave No Trace
Leave No Trace's 7 ethics are designed to allow people to coexist with wildlife. If we all do our part, we can keep our park natural and safe for all.
1. Plan ahead and come prepared
Dress for the weather
Pack water
Wear close-toed shoes
Wear bug spray
2. Stay on the trail
It minimizes the impaction of the soil
It protects wildlife, especially ground-dwellers and ground-nesters
It keeps nearby wildlife calm when you stay on the trail
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
All waste, even food waste and mutt mitts
4. Leave What You Find
Take only pictures
5. Minimize campfire impacts
Campfires and personal BBQ pits are not permitted in the park
Only use the built-in firepits for fire and grilling
6. Respect Wildlife
Keep your distance
Stay calm and quiet
7. Be considerate of others
Share the trail
If you are listening to something other than nature, wear headphones. Don't use amplified music speakers
