One shortcut off the trail doesn't feel like much. Multiply that by every hiker who takes the same shortcut through wet fall ground, and you've got a new trail that didn't need to exist.

Fall is a crowded season on the landscape. Hikers, hunters, and migrating wildlife are all using the same corridors at the same time. A little awareness of who else is out there (and why) goes a long way.

Fall trails look forgiving. Cooler ground, fewer crowds, soft light. But recovery slows down as temperatures drop, so damage from off-trail travel or new social trails sticks around into spring. What you do this month has more staying power than it looks like.

You don't need a permit, a group, or a plan. Next time you're out and you see something that shouldn't be there, pick it up. That's it. That's the whole system.

Hey Friends, our Fire Safety Guide is now available for your educational entertainment. Comment "FIRE" to get a link to download it.

While having a fire outdoors can be a treat, it can also be a hazard.

Here are some tips to keep you safe:

🔥Keep your fires small, and always contain them to a fire pit. The more defined, the better!
🔥Watch out for dry grass, leaves, loose trash, or anything close to the fire pit that could catch flames. Unexpected gusts of wind can easily carry sparks and flames out of the pit.
🔥When you’re done, put out the fire by dousing it with water and separating the coals and embers. Make sure nothing looks lit, and that there’s no heat coming off the fire. It might take longer than you expect, but it’s better to wait than get some unexpected heat when you’re not looking!
🔥It’s sometimes best to avoid fires altogether; if all you need is light or warmth, a lightweight stove or electric lantern can do the trick.

One person picking up trash is good. A group doing it together is how it actually adds up fast. Find a local cleanup, bring a friend, or start your own. Stewardship gets easier — and more fun — when you're not doing it alone.

It's the first day of fall! 🍁🍂 That means gorgeous shades of red, orange, and yellow are just around the corner. 👀

Save this guide to fall foliage when you are out leaf peeping, or even better, plant a tree so you can enjoy vibrant autumn colors for years to come. 🌳

Know the 7 Principles? Most people can name a couple, and fewer know how to actually apply.

That's the gap our new Skills Course fills. It goes beyond our 101 course into real decisions: reading durable surfaces, storing food securely, and planning a trip that actually holds up outdoors.

Self-paced online or an 8-hour in-person session — pick what fits your schedule. Free for individual supporters.
