Promoting responsible recreation through ethics education and stewardship programs

Tread Lightly! leads a national initiative to protect and enhance access to recreation opportunities. By promoting outdoor ethics we heighten individuals’ sense of good stewardship. Tread Lightly!’s goal is to balance the needs of the people who enjoy outdoor recreation with their desire to maintain healthy ecosystems. The scope of our work includes both land and water based recreation, with a niche in promoting safe and responsible use of motorized and mechanized vehicles in the outdoors.
