I used to volunteer for the Forestry Service at the Talladega National Forest here in Alabama. I know what they interpret "Tread Lightly" to mean, but what does everyone else think it means?
TreadLightly said:Travel and recreate with minimum impact
Respect the environment and the rights of others
Educate yourself--plan and prepare before you go
Allow for future use of the outdoors--leave it better than you found it
Discover the rewards of responsible recreation

Treading lightly to me, means getting those people (who don't know why what they do is wrong) to understand that their irresponsibility ruins it for us "responsible" folk.
