Bigfoot inspires youth: Leave No Trace in urban after-school programs

Description:
The Leave No Trace for Every Kid educational initiative focuses on educating youth about environmental stewardship based on values and asset development (Leave No Trace, n.d.). These values help build youth’s affinity for nature through outdoor camps and OST programs that provide opportunities for youth to spend time in the outdoors and learn skills that can be related to everyday life (Leave No Trace, n.d.). Bigfoot’s Playbook (Leave No Trace, 2019) uses 38 educational activities to help connect youth to the seven Leave No Trace principles. Thus, the purpose of this study was to measure the effect of an OST program using Bigfoot’s Playbook to help connect urban youth to the environment. (author abstract)
