When was the last time you went for a walk outside, on a trail marked only by the treads of those who have walked before you?

When was the last time you camped along the banks of a local lake, taking care to leave no trace of your presence when you left?

How often do you have to drive 30 miles just to find a safe and quiet trail to jog around? 

Have you ever looked around and thought to yourself: "I remember when this was all trees"?

Recreational sustainability refers to laws and actions that increase the amount of interconnected natural beauty for us to enjoy today, while also making sure that our actions do not prevent future generations from enjoying that same level of green space. Recreational sustainability also refers to using construction and design methods for places such as park shelters, parking lots, and playground equipment that limit the amount of energy and natural resources consumed.
