402 Cynthia Radford ~ Do You Know How to Leave No Trace?

I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Cynthia Radford. A lovely Instagram follower recommended I have her on the show after we had a chat about some of the gray areas of Leave No Trace. This was such a fantastic episode, and I'm so happy that I finally found someone to help clarify some of these gray areas for me. I learned a lot about LNT and I have a new perspective on several things.

COVID lockdowns have meant that many people who weren’t previously spending time outdoors on the trails are now getting outside more than ever before. And many of them lack the common sense to know how to behave in the outdoors because they just don't have the experience. In this episode, we talk about how everyone can help to gently educate others on the topic.
