Arizona is an explorer’s dream with places that defy the senses and experiences that create long-lasting memories. But travel inevitably has an impact on destinations and their surroundings.
To help protect Arizona’s natural icons and diverse
landscapes, the Arizona Offi ce of Tourism forged a
partnership with the Leave No Trace Center for
Outdoor Ethics to promote sustainable tourism. This
partnership led to the creation of Appreciate AZ.
"Arizonans are lucky to have some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world in their very own backyard."
"There are seven Leave No Trace principles — everything from planning ahead and respecting wildlife to fire safety and sharing the outdoors."
"To learn more about how you can leave no trace when exploring Arizona’s outdoors, visit AppreciateAZ.com."

Leave What You Find — take

here longer. #AppreciateAZ
