RULE #1: LEAVE NO TRACE
Badlands welcomes everyone, from unhurried cycle tourists who come to enjoy the route to the fastest gravel riders, but those who arrive in this land in such a hurry that they cannot pick up their trash have come to the wrong place.
"Leave no trace" is a imprecise phrase often turned into a simple hashtag, below you can see how to apply it more specifically to this very special land.
Not to deteriorate or alter any biotic, geological, cultural or, in general, landscape resource
Not to produce significant alterations to the processes and natural functioning of ecosystems and the behavioural patterns of living beings.
Not to dump or abandon objects or solid or liquid waste outside the places specifically designated for this purpose.
To be responsible for waste collection and disposal when this service is not provided by other entities.
