Leave No Trace - Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument



From Larry Glickman, Park Ranger and Utah Leave No Trace & Tread Lightly Coordinator for the Bureau of Land Management at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

"From the Master Educator course we just completed here in Escalante, UT (May 23-27) at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Some of the course participants were so excited that they were 'channeling the Leave No Trace spirit...'"

How do you "channel the spirit" of Leave No Trace?

Celebrate Earth Day: Locally is Globally

Although we like to think of Earth Day as everyday, the annual celebration is upon us. This past weekend we had the pleasure of being a part of two Earth Day Festivals in Utah. The first took place in Kanab on Friday. The theme of the celebration was "Growing the Seeds of Change" in which 609 students from Kanab took part in an art project to share their ideas of what this years slogan means to them. The students of the county were very creative with their depictions for a better planet and a brighter future!
Saturday was also a special day, as we celebrated our Mother Earth with the community of Springdale and Zion National Park. The theme "locally is globally" was evident throughout the festival with local produce, local bands, local artists, and local products for all to enjoy. On this Earth Day, get out there and enjoy the outdoors responsibly! The world is a beautiful place. Let's be sure to all do our part to love and protect it! Happy Earth Day!
Safe travels...Kate and Tracy
