We use training and education to support the Leave No Trace mission and ensure that all outdoor enthusiasts have the skills to leave places as good, or better, than they found them. By using education instead of regulation, we can help protect the outdoors without impeding on the enjoyment or freedom of our fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
Community Programmes
Leave No Trace Ireland engages with communities to achieve greater scale and impact across Ireland. Memberships are free for community groups and create awareness about the importance of responsible outdoor recreation in the Irish countryside, enhancing and protecting local biodiversity.
Special Award National Tidy Towns Competition
Leave No Trace sponsor a Special Category Award in the National Tidy Towns competition which is open to all Tidy Towns Groups throughout Ireland. The award recognises communities for their significant efforts to protect and enhance the natural environment and the promotion of responsibility in the outdoors. Through recognising these communities, Leave No Trace Ireland seeks to inspire other communities to take extraordinary actions to protect and promote responsible outdoor recreation.
Schools Programmes
To meet the needs of educators working with our youth, Leave No Trace Ireland, in collaboration with the Department of Community and Rural Development created an outdoor ethics curriculum specifically for young audiences.
Corporate Volunteering
Leave No Trace Ireland welcome corporate involvement from organisations who wish to aspire to our Principles of environmental protection with our organisation, whether that be a once-off general donation or longer-term commitment.
