Dear SWV Members
Labor Day Leave No Trace (LNT) Event recap
Friday and Saturday of Labor Day weekend was a great opportunity to assist the USFS and promote LNT principles with backcountry users. Attended by Jeff and Linda Hawley and Carl. Thank you Jeff and Linda!
While Friday was a steady day, Saturday was incredibly busy. Saturday, SWV received 60 permits from those self-issuing outside the office. These were in addition to the many permits issued inside the very busy USFS office. These backcountry users would never have had instruction/advice regarding LNT principles. What an opportunity to support backcountry users, from the very experienced to first timers, and discuss LNT principles. backcountry ethics, assist with directions and suggestions for visitors, help divert people from some of the very busy trailheads, and the opportunity to inform and promote SWV.
SWV involvement was greatly appreciated by the USFS and backcountry visitors. Jeff, Linda and I also enjoyed the interaction with backpackers and the opportunity to make an impact.
