This World Oceans Day, we're celebrating the wild coastline that makes Olympic National Park so special. š
When you visit the coast, help preserve this sensitive ecosystem by following Leave No Trace principles and keeping these tips in mind:
š Pack it in, pack it out
š„¾ Stick to the trail
š¦ Keep your distance from wildlife
š Leave what you find ā seashells and tide pool critters included
With support from our partner wanatlparkfund, we're excited to take "leave no trace" to a whole new level by replacing backcountry privies along the coast with new, sustainable toilets that protect the ecosystem and allow for an improved visitor experience for backcountry adventurers. Here's to a coast that stays healthy, wild, and inspiring ā for visitors and wildlife alike! š
