Sans trace

Great Canadian Trails s'engage à offrir des voyages responsables et durables. Nous sommes fiers d'être partenaire de Sans trace Canada, un organisme à but non lucratif qui vise à promouvoir une utilisation responsable des milieux naturels lors d’activités récréatives en plein air. Son programme propose un cadre de référence avec des principes et techniques simples qui permettent de réduire les impacts négatifs causés par un nombre grandissant de visiteurs des aires récréatives naturelles.

En plus de protéger notre patrimoine naturel et d’augmenter la qualité de nos expériences de plein air, le programme permet d’éviter aux gestionnaires des aires naturelles de devoir prendre des mesures restrictives en invitant plutôt les visiteurs à prendre conscience de leur impact et à modifier volontairement leurs actions et comportements inappropriés.


Les sept principes du Sans trace auxquels adhère Great Canadian Trails sont:

Leave No Trace_logo-canada-10

  • Préparez-vous et prévoyez
  • Utilisez les surfaces durables
  • Gérez adéquatement les déchets
  • Laissez intact ce que vous trouvez
  • Minimisez l'impact des feux
  • Respectez la vie sauvage
  • Respectez les autres usagers

 

Historique du programme de Sans trace
L’augmentation de la popularité des activités de plein air depuis les 30 dernières années a entraîné une augmentation considérable du nombre de visiteurs dans les milieux naturels à travers le monde. Aux États Unis, faisant face à une réelle dégradation des parcs causée par un achalandage accru, les gestionnaires des parcs américains avaient le choix entre deux options : fermer l’accès à certaines sections des parcs pour permettre la régénération ou enseigner aux visiteurs des méthodes pour réduire leurs impacts négatifs. Quatre agences gouvernementales américaines et le National Outdoor Leadership School ont alors travaillé conjointement pour créer l’organisation Sans trace, en se basant sur la recherche scientifique. Aujourd’hui, le Leave No Trace Center for Outdoors Ethics est une organisation sans but lucratif établie en 1994 à Boulder, au Colorado, et est responsable de l’administration de ce programme.

En 2004, un petit groupe canadien d’éducateurs sensibles à cette problématique a reconnu l’importance d’établir le programme Sans trace au Canada. Aujourd’hui Sans trace Canada est partenaire d’organisations telles que Scouts Canada, Mountain Equipement Company, CPAWS etc. En 2005, l’organisation Sans trace Canada est devenue une branche officielle du Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.
