The Leave No Trace Spotlight program brings together our shared love for the outdoors with a dedication to preserving its well-being and beauty.
Spotlights are designed to energize local Leave No Trace efforts by rallying the community, connecting partners, and inspiring continued action. This free program provides opportunities for Leave No Trace training, community outreach, and volunteer stewardship.
Selected spaces range from National Parks and Forests, to state or municipal sites, to local non-profits and organizations.
How It Works
Sites nominate themselves for the program.
We hand-select nominated outdoor spaces that need our community's care and attention.
Leave No Trace and selected sites work together closely to plan and promote the Spotlight.
Our Subaru/Leave No Trace team(s) travel to Spotlight locations to host free educational workshops, community cleanups, restoration projects, and more!
You attend the Spotlight to support conservation efforts in your community.
These Spotlight locations benefit from Leave No Trace education, awareness, and community engagement, leading to a better-than-we-found-it outdoors where preservation and conservation are in full force.

"The Leave No Trace Spotlight at the Mohonk Preserve became the catalyst our partnership needed to elevate our Leave No Trace work to the highest standard. The event brought our staff and community together for stewardship projects, community engagement, educational experiences, and fun! The weekend taught us many things we immediately applied to our work. For our organization it was an eye opening experience that will benefit the land and community in perpetuity."

"The Leave No Trace Spotlight program brought exposure and excitement to our hidden treasure of Clear Creek Natural Heritage Area in Denton, TX. The Leave No Trace Spotlight team were organized and thorough in the planning to ensure our Spotlight event went extremely well. The marketing packet was perfect for our marketing avenues and gave us sample content."

"Coordinating the Leave No Trace Spotlight event at Red Rock Canyon NCA in 2022 was very enjoyable and enlightening! The training really changed the discussion we have as a partner with BLM Red Rock Canyon to how we message better about the impact of Leave No Trace. We are now working on becoming a Gold Standard location."
