Green Your Camping Trip

  • Buy used gear – avoid more packaging and shipping waste by borrowing camping gear from family or friends.
  • Pack it in, pack it out – make sure whatever you take to your campsite leaves when you do (food, trash, etc.)
  • Use biodegradable soap – and wash dishes or yourself at least 200 feet away from streams or lakes.
  • Keep fires small – only use sticks from the area that can be broken by hand.
  • Enjoy the sounds of nature! Keep your voices low and avoid loud noises.
