    3. SOCIAL BENEFITS – outdoor activities are ways for families
    to become closer. They can be a family bonding activity.
    4. ECONOMIC BENEFITS – people who have a relaxed
    body and mind tend to be more productive at work.

    can stir up spiritual values. Being one with nature
    brings certain calmness within a person.
    2. What are the important things that should be
    remembered when participating in an outdoor
    recreational activity?
    It has been established earlier that the outdoor recreation
    is an interaction between man and nature. the interaction
    should come with care and respect. The “Leave No Trace
    Seven Principles” is a set of universal outdoor ethics that
    guides one in the activities to do with nature.
    The Leave No Trace Seven Principles
    1. Plan Ahead and Prepare – before going to a place,
    check if your planned activity is permitted. Make
    sure to know the rules, guidelines, and safety
    procedures they have set. Some places require
    certain permits or clearance.
    2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces – Walk, run,
    bike, or camp on durable surfaces like established
    tracks, rocks, gravel, and dry grasses.
    3. Dispose of Waste Properly – “Pack it in, pack it out”
    means everything you brought should be brought back
    with you including left-over food or fruit peel. Nothing
    should be left.
    4. Leave What you Find – Examine archeological
    structures, old walls, and other heritage artifacts but
    do not touch nor leave marks on them.
    5. Minimize Campfire Impacts – Use lightweight stove
    for cooking; campfires can cause lasting impacts.
    6. Respect Wildlife – Observe wild animals from a
    distance and they should be avoided during sensitive
    times such as mating, nesting, or raising the young.
    7. Be considerate of Other Visitors – Respect people
    who live and work in the countryside.
