Leave No Trace Ireland is a not-for-profit organisation made up of member organisations with a shared interest in encouraging responsible enjoyment of Ireland’s natural environment. Our mission is to promote and inspire responsible outdoor recreation through education, research and partnership throughout the island of Ireland. Leave No Trace Ireland training is delivered at various levels, including Awareness Sessions, Trainer Courses and Advanced Trainer Courses. The Leave No Trace message has been adopted by many organisations including government departments, state agencies, national governing bodies of sport, education and training organisations and a range of tourism businesses. It is this broad adoption and promotion that gives the message its strength, together with the fact that the educational principles are all positive in nature and based on sound science. Leave No Trace Ireland is affiliated with the Leave No Trace Centre for Outdoor Ethics, America.
