TPW TV -- LEAVE NO TRACE: Some guidelines to help keep 
the outdoors a great place for all ... learn more on 
Passport to Texas. (Aug. 22)

This is Passport to Texas

Some life lessons are classic, such as: pick up after 
yourself or be considerate of others. These behaviors are 
appropriate outdoors, too, and won't limit your fun, as 
former Texas Outdoor Family guide, Lindsay Davis 
explains: 

50 -- It is possible to both preserve and enjoy the great outdoors. We 
call this Leave No Trace. Research the area you're visiting; check for 
burn bans and other restrictions. Once you're out in the park, stick to 
the trails. Going off trail tramples vegetation and disturbs wildlife. If you 
pack it in, pack it out. Properly dispose of your trash in a dumpster or 
trash receptacle. Want some natural souvenirs? Take pictures. It's a 
violation of state law to remove resources from the park - things like 
rocks, plants and other natural objects. Respect wild animals in their 
natural habitats, and from a safe distance. Never feed wildlife. And 
finally, be considerate of other visitors. Avoid walking through others' 
campsites, keep the volume down, and respect the park's quiet hours so 
folks can enjoy the sounds of nature. [:03 ambience]
