Bring the outdoors in - learn to "Leave No Trace" from your quarantine space

Disconnect your child from the television and video games and plug them into the outdoors from the comfort of your home and backyard. Bring the outdoors into your home with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association’s new kid-friendly activities that teach important principles and outdoor stewardship.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) seeks to inspire stewardship through the Online to Outdoor Education program. Through this program, youth will learn the seven Leave No Trace principles and discover how they can reduce their impact on the environment. After completing this series of hands-on activities and reflection questions, your child will receive their Leave No Trace Awareness certificate!

The Online to Outdoor Education program is available for everyone but recommended for children ten years and older. To access the TRTA’s Online to Outdoor Education program, visit www.tahoerimtrail.org/leave-no-trace.

To receive a Leave No Trace Awareness certificate, all worksheets and photos of activities must be submitted to Julia Kaseta at juliak@tahoerimtrail.org.

TRTA recommends everyone learn the Leave No Trace principles prior to heading out into nature once the travel restrictions are lifted.
