If you’re bringing your canine companion along for the hike, make sure you are aware of how you both can produce as little of an impact as possible.
While your dog may not be able to wear matching snowshoes with you, you can try to keep them to the side of the trail to avoid “paw post-holing.”
We recognize this isn’t always easy to do, but there are other ways to practice Leave No Trace with your dog that are more in your control.
For example, bringing plastic bags to pack out your dog’s waste is a great way to prevent the spread of invasive species and protect the natural environment.
Stay mindful of your impact and have a paw-some time outside.
Follow the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace™ to maintain minimal impact on the environment and natural resources.
