The Dallas Park and Recreation Department is excited to announce that Leave No Trace, the nation’s leading environmental advocate, has chosen Samuell Farm as a 2023 Leave No Trace Spotlight.
Leave No Trace believes communities are the solution to conservation issues and wants to shine a spotlight on the communities that are rising to meet our shared environmental challenges.
In March, 2023, Samuell Farm, a 400-acre City of Dallas park space, will be the site of a youth and family-oriented conservation event featuring hands-on workshops to show how everyone can protect and enjoy the outdoors.
The event, hosted by Dallas Park and Recreation and Subaru/Leave No Trace teams, will be a multi-day event designed to bring attention to community conservation, to spread education, to build momentum, and to inspire involvement for the future.
Leave No Trace Spotlight programs will be taking place across the country, with each site is to receive 3 days of activation put on by the Subaru/Leave No Trace Traveling Teams, which can include service projects, staff and community training, community outreach, and youth programs.
Centered around stewardship, the project is aimed at reducing visitor-created impacts and rehabilitating outdoor areas. The event will include training and a final meeting to build momentum for future needed efforts.
The intended outcome is to strengthen stewardship efforts and partnerships by empowering stakeholders, land managers, volunteers, and outdoor enthusiasts through Leave No Trace education to ensure a sustainable recreation future for all,” said Dana Watts, Executive Director of the Leave No Trace organization.
