The state partnered with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics to encourage sustainable tourism built on the following principles:
Plan ahead and prepare;
- Trash your trash;
- Be careful with campfires;
- Keep New Hampshire's wildlife wild;
- Stick to the trails and camp overnight night;
- Leave it as you find it; and
- Share the outdoors.
In recent years, an increased interest in hiking and the outdoors has led to issues with overcrowding in New Hampshire and other areas.
