Leave No Trace (LNT)

We care a great deal about our planet and we believe you should too. Therefore we follow the 7 Leave No Trace Principles as much as we possibly can. The Seven Principles of Leave No Trace provide an easily understood framework of minimum impact practices for anyone visiting the outdoors. Although Leave No Trace has its roots in backcountry settings, the Principles have been adapted so that they can be applied anywhere — from remote wilderness areas, to local parks and even in your own backyard. They also apply to almost every recreational activity. Each Principle covers a specific topic and provides detailed information for minimizing impacts. (https://lnt.org)

You can also Google “Eco-Friendly Weddings” and get a HUGE amount of inspiration of what you can do to reduce the environmental impacts.

And, remember, we are always happy to help you find and pick up that champagne cork, find a eco-friendly confetti option (like local leaves or native wild flower petals)—and help you look into fire codes and fire bans before you plan to light sparklers or have a ban-fire.

The seven Principles are:

• Plan ahead and prepare.

• Find and use durable surfaces.

• Dispose of waste properly.

• Leave what you find.

• Minimize campfire impacts (be extremely careful with fire and sparklers).

• Respect wildlife.

• Be considerate of other visitors.

Happy Wedding Day!
