Celebrate #CareForColorado Week,

May 15–22

Share A Care for Colorado Leave No Trace Principle Daily

In May 2016, Colorado was the first state in the nation to create a holiday for public lands, Colorado Public Lands Day, which is May 15 this year. What a perfect opener for the second #CareForColorado Week!

Please join the Care for Colorado Coalition, federal and state partners, and tribal and local land managers in sharing one Care for Colorado Leave No Trace Principle every day this week. These principles serve to remind us all about the importance of responsible outdoor recreation and to guide us in protecting our magnificent landscape and precious resources.

In order to help lessen identified issues and impacts such as trash, fires, crowded trailheads and unregulated camping, we all need to be good stewards! The #CareForColorado partner toolkit, highlighted below, includes easy to access and ready-to-go assets for you to share.

Thank you, CPW, for your partnership in coordinating #CareForColorado Week and thanks to all of you for continuing to encourage Colorado-style stewardship, so that together we can all Care for Colorado.

#CareForColorado Week Daily Principles

Colorado Parks and Wildlife features all seven Care for Colorado Leave No Trace Principles with great messaging you can easily share! Below is an example:

Monday, May 17, Day Three — Leave It As You Find It:

• Leave plants, rocks and historical items as you find them so others experience the joy of discovery.
• Any of our 750 different species of wildflowers will live forever in a photo. Snap away, but only with a camera.
• Colorado is beautiful all on its own. Building structures or campsites on public land isn’t cool. Keep it pristine for everyone to enjoy.
