Backcountry Horseman of Washington adopted the Leave No Trace (LNT) program to educate riders with the proper methods for maintaining public land use for future generations. Today’s education helps the membership to preserve our rights to use stock for recreation. The LNT principles of outdoor ethics encompass ways to lower impacts in both the back and front country.
90% of stock users are day riders. It is imperative that BCHW members be educated on stock use techniques that minimize impact on the environment. The less evidence we leave on our visits, the better statement we make of our commitment to LNT ethics for other user groups.
The LNT Basic Skills Class teaches the seven principles of outdoor ethics and skills. This is NOT a packing clinic or a horsemanship class. Practical application of LNT principles are taught in a classroom setting along with hands on camping and stock use techniques.
The intent of this two day class is to offer LNT skills for those who recreate in both the back and front country.
