Softer Footsteps: An Intro to Leave No Trace at Grafton Lakes State Park


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 09/20/2020
Do you know how long it takes for banana peels to decompose or for moss to grow? Why do trails look wider at muddy spots? You've heard about social trails and no-swimming zones, but why do we care about these? Does one person stepping off trail to see the water really matter, especially if you can already see other people have done the same? Come with your questions and curiosity to a primer on the 7 Leave No Trace principles and learn how everyone's smallest actions matter, and how you can share these principles with others more effectively! Bring water, good shoes, bug spray, and trekking poles (optional). This program is designed for ages 10 and up. Program meeting location will be shared when you pre-register. To pre-register, email graftonlakessp@parks.ny.gov by 4:00 PM on the Wednesday before the program (9/9, 9/16). Please be sure to include the date and program title in your email. For example, "9/13 Softer Footsteps." In your email, let us know how many people will be attending for your group, first and last names, and phone numbers. Please note that programming capacity is limited to meet COVID-19 safety requirements. Additionally, masks must be worn by all participants for the entire duration of the program. Lastly, patrons must keep social distance of 6 feet from other family groups throughout the program.
