Donations in April will launch Leave No Trace’s yearlong campaign celebrating 250 years of American history. In collaboration with federal partners, Leave No Trace is developing a suite of resources to ensure that as record numbers of visitors head outdoors to celebrate the nation’s milestone, they do so responsibly.
