What Is Leave No Trace?

Leave No Trace is the standard of care for the outdoors — the recognized benchmark for how

responsible outdoor recreation is taught and practiced. We use science, education, and

stewardship to keep outdoor spaces healthy and open to everyone.

Leave No Trace in Colorado — Why Avon FreeFall Bluegrass Festival Gives Back

Proceeds raised through FreeFall Fest go directly toward supporting core Leave No Trace

programming in Colorado. That funding will help residents and visitors alike learn how to enjoy

Colorado's outdoors responsibly, so the places we camp, hike, ski, bike, and gather stay healthy

and accessible for the next generation.

Beyond the festival grounds, Leave No Trace runs core programming across Colorado in

partnership with land managers such as Colorado Parks and Wildlife, ranger and staff training,

trailhead education, volunteer stewardship days, and support for parks pursuing Gold Standard site

certification. That work already touches CPW’s roughly 400 properties statewide, including 42 state

parks and more than 350 wildlife areas.
