While we’re a small non-profit, Leave No Trace is stocked full of talented, creative and passionate folks and we’re all working hard to promote responsible outdoor recreation. Here’s a glimpse of the folks you’ll find in the office.
Leave No Trace is also comprised of our 3 teams of traveling educators that canvas the country teaching, educating, spreading the Leave No Trace love.
Bigfoot has been living the Leave No Trace ethics for decades, setting a shining example for what is possible for all of us. Around the office, we have coined the phrase "Bigfoot's Been Doing It For Years." He wants you to take his challenge.
