We are making a difference across Ireland.  Come join us!

Have you ever thought about becoming a Leave No Trace Ireland member. By becoming a member, you will be joining more than 500 like-minded individuals and organisations in promoting responsible outdoor recreation across Ireland.

Last year the support of our members allowed us to achieve the following:

We have been busy preparing our Workplan for 2022 and have an exciting year ahead. Over the next year we will continue focusing on our mission which is to inspire personal responsibility in the outdoors and plan on accomplishing the following:

  • In partnership with state agencies Leave No Trace will deliver the Love This Place national public awareness campaign again for a third year running. This year already has substantial support which should see the campaign reach drastically expanded.
  • After a very successful  first year of our ERASMUS+ Project “Sustainability and Environmental Education in Outdoor Sports” (SEE) as project lead we continue into the second year of the project with renewed enthusiasm.
  • In partnership with schools, we will continue to develop primary education programmes including the Explorers Education Programme, Leave No Trace Champions and the River Explorers Programme
  • The successful Corporate Hot Spot programme is also expanding this year to include two new Corporate projects. Keep an eye out this year as we work with Gas Networks, Deloitte, Lidl and Marks and Spenser
  • The new Outdoor Recreation Strategy for Ireland with other key stakeholders through Comhairle na Tuaithe, the Countryside Council will launch this year with Leave No Trace taking on a key role.

Throughout the year we run a variety of outdoor education courses, from 1-day awareness workshops to our 5-day Advanced Trainer Course, there is something for everyone no matter what level you are at and by advancing on to become a Leave No Trace Ireland Trainer, you can help educate and engage others in responsible outdoor behaviour. We have an exciting new Training and Events Calendar for all members for 2022!
