How to Tread Lightly!

Tread Lightly! and its partners lead a national initiative to protect and enhance recreation and public access by promoting outdoor ethics. Something we at Sēkr take extremely seriously and know is imperative to maintaining our ways of outdoor living.

Tread Lightly! practices environmentally responsible outdoor recreation by adhering to a few simple TREAD principles that apply to the various outdoor activities including motorized recreation, water recreation, winter recreation, backcountry sport, hiking, camping and more!

TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY on roads and trails or in permitted areas.

RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS including private property owners and all recreational trail users, campers and others to allow them to enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.

EDUCATE YOURSELF by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies, planning for your trip, taking recreation skills classes, and knowing how to use and operate your equipment safely.

AVOID SENSITIVE AREAS such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams, unless on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitat and sensitive soils from damage.

DO YOUR PART by leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a local enthusiast organization.

TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY on designated waterways and launch your watercraft in designated areas.

RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS including anglers, swimmers, skiers, boaters, divers, and others to allow them to enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.

EDUCATE YOURSELF by learning rules and regulations, planning for your trip, taking recreation skills classes, and knowing how to use and operate your equipment safely.

AVOID SENSITIVE AREAS and operating your watercraft in shallow waters or near shorelines at high speeds.

DO YOUR PART by leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of fuel, oil and waste, avoiding the spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a local enthusiast organization.
