Leave No Trace – Noxious weeds have taken a small hold in the Mt Hood Wilderness. To prevent from bringing non-native plants into the forest, clean your animal, trailer, truck and gear before leaving home. A few days before your trip, change your stock over to processed feed and only allow it to graze in weed free pasture. "Take only pictures and leave only footprints” isn’t good enough anymore. The cumulative impact of so many footprints has been significant. Bring a collapsible bucket to water your horse. At home, go to www.LNT.org to learn more.
