Leave No Trace

The Little Copenhagen Mermaid.

When I was young and Santa old
And children did as they were told
I’d gaze at fish a-cycling along the Milky Way
Behind them pigs would loop the loop
As scented breezes cooled my soup
And elephants, both white and pink, a-whistling would play;

In rhubarb trees they’d build their nests,
As politicians combed their crests
While working for ‘The Populus’ throughout the live-long day.
Now Candy mountains, butter too,
Have dropped us in the Irish stew
And wine lakes, shining shore to shore, tempt us to sail away

From truth, responsibility,
And wise but dull maturity,
Straight to the sirens call are we drawn closer every day.
In pea-green boats upon a lake
of lucozade our thirst we slake
while breathing clouds of candy-floss the golden geese will lay

then we will gorge on golden eggs
as we bestride the world on legs
made out of malted-whisky kegs we flew down from Strathspey.
And foaming ‘champers’ at the mouth
We’ll strip the world from north to south
And calling Truth a blabbermouth, we’ll sing, “Calloo, Callay.”

And then the dreaded Jabberwock,
we’ll meet before we’ve taken stock
that nothing is there left to hock to pay the pipes to play
and nonsense will the last word be
at parties where the mushroom tea
is brewed by madder hats than we. Let’s desperately pray!

Take time to remove any traces you might leave on your outdoor adventures and leave it like you found it for the next person to enjoy the same way you did.

A fortuitous encounter with “Mr. Bigfoot” is motivating us to practice Leave No Trace sasquatch-style.

How? The furry guy has asked us to challenge this community to live up to his standards as an environmental activist. By showing your support for Leave No Trace you have the chance to show Bigfoot you’re up to the test. He’s been doing it for years, and so can you!

Per Bigfoot’s request, we are offering a creative way for you to support Leave No Trace. By donating $15 you will receive some gifts to help warm up the holidays: a limited-edition Bigfoot pint glass (for your favorite holiday beverage) and a warm, cozy hat!

In celebration of 10 years of Education in Motion, the Subaru/Leave No Trace Traveling Trainer program has teamed up with Mr. Bigfoot himself to challenge the outdoor community to make a difference this summer! By visiting www.lnt.org/bigfootchallenge or catching up with the Traveling Trainers at an event this summer, you have a chance to take the Leave No Trace Bigfoot challenge and try to leave no trace just like Bigfoot has been doing for years! We have only one question for you...are you up for the challenge?
