On Land and Water
Hello all from Tread Lightly! I thought I'd take a sec and "introduce" the organization and myself since we've only had like four posts in the past. My name is Curt Hall (Skylinerider here on the forums) I recently accepted the position of Education and Stewardship Specialist with Treadlightly. I am very excited to be working with this group of great people. My job is to focus on education and be the face of TL! on the ground. As such I will be at most show's and Expo's, and teaching Master Trainer courses along with working with Public lands managers to further the cause of responsible use. I anticipate having a greater presence on the forums in general, and being able to spread the message to a greater group of users.

Tread Lightly! Principles
Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated roads, trails and areas. Go over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails. Cross streams only at designated fords. When possible, avoid wet, muddy trails. On water, stay on designated waterways and launch your watercraft in designated areas.
Respect the Rights of Others including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Leave gates as you found them. Yield right of way to those passing you or going uphill. On water, respect anglers, swimmers, skiers, boaters, divers and those on or near shore.
Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies. Plan for your trip, take recreation skills classes and know how to operate your equipment safely.
Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams. Stay on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb historical, archeological or paleontological sites. On water, avoid operating your watercraft in shallow waters or near shorelines at high speeds.
Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas.
