Leave No Trace Center shines spotlight on Peninsula State Park

 You can learn how to be a better steward of the environment next month as a part of a national series coming to Peninsula State Park. The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics announced last week that the popular Door County state park has been selected as a 2023 site during its National Get Outdoors Day weekend celebration June 8th-10th. Fifteen sites across the country were selected for visits by the organization and its corporate sponsors, including Peninsula State Park. Destination Door County, Friends of Peninsula State Park, and Department of Natural Resources staff members will participate in the weekend full of activities, which include a spotlight social in the Fish Creek lot, a pop-up event at Eagle Tower, a naturalist-guided hike, and a service project. All of the Spotlight events are free and open to the public. Destination Door County President and CEO Julie Gilbert said it is an honor to be chosen to host the event and looks forward to welcoming the community. Peninsula State Park Naturalist Krista Lutzke highlighted the importance of the Leave No Trace principles, especially in areas like Door County where there is a crucial balance between recreational use and environmental stewardship that needs to be met.
