OGDEN, Utah (September 13, 2009) — Tread Lightly!, in partnership with the nation’s most influential hunting and shooting sports organizations, has released a series of six print public service announcements (PSAs) encouraging responsible behavior on public lands.  The PSAs are part of a much larger new education and outreach campaign called "Respected Access is Open Access."

"Being respectful of public lands is the goal of the campaign," said Lori McCullough, executive director of the nonprofit Tread Lightly!.  "Across America, access and opportunities are dwindling at a rate so serious it demands our immediate attention and action.  Damage caused by a minority of recreationists who are either uninformed or uncaring of the consequences of their actions is contributing to the loss of access for everyone."

Most Americans know some basic outdoor ethics rules—like not littering and staying on the trail. However, not everyone knows how to cross a stream responsibly, approach a horseback rider safely or how far away a tent should be from a river.
