  1. Plan ahead and prepare
  2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces
  3. Dispose of waste properly
  4. Leave what you find
  5. Minimize campfire impact
  6. Respect wildlife
  7. Be considerate of other visitors

These principles apply to all types of outdoor recreation, including camping, hiking, biking, fishing, and more. The program emphasizes the importance of leaving outdoor spaces better than we found them by minimizing our impact on natural resources.
