Tread Lightly! and its partners lead a national initiative to protect and enhance recreation access and opportunities by promoting outdoor ethics to heighten individuals’ sense of good stewardship. Tread Lightly!'s goal is to balance the needs of people who enjoy outdoor recreation with the need to maintain a healthy environment through minimum impact education and on-the-ground public land stewardship.

Tread Lightly!'s core ethic revolves around 5 tenants of responsible recreation called the T.R.E.A.D. Principles.

T-Travel Responsibly

R-Respect the Rights of Others

E-Educate Yourself

A-Avoid Sensitive Areas

D-Do Your Part
