Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is an official partner of the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and leading the way in the incorporation of Leave No Trace ethics into their environmental and cultural education programs.

Each visiting classroom will be required to adopt the Leave No Trace Ethics by participating in classroom activites prior to their visit.  Teachers will be provided information following their booking of education programs.

By adopting the ethics of Leave No Trace, and communicating them to our youth, we will be helping to preserve Saskatchewan’s natural areas to ensure that they remain healthy.

The Leave No Trace educational program promotes skills and ethics to support the sustainable use of wilderness and natural areas.  At the heart of LNT are seven principles for reducing the damage caused by outdoor activities.  LNT’s Seven Principles:  Plan Ahead and Prepare, Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces, Dispose of Waste Properly, Leave What You Find, Minimize Campfire Impacts, Respect Wildlife, Be Considerate of Other Visitors.
