This Earth Day, DogTrekker spotlights stewardship

By: DogTrekker Staff

Sustainability helped spark DogTrekker.com. Before launching the website, around Earth Day 2011, we sent a newsletter called “Leave Only Pawprints.” It was among our first newsletters dedicated to dog-friendly travel. Today, DogTrekker’s Leave Only Paw Prints (LOPP) program encourages participants to travel lightly and preserve outdoor access for four-legged friends. 

LOPP shares simple tips for protecting pups and public lands, and it supports similar campaigns by the DogTrekker destination partners below. This Earth Day, let’s build a better future for all travelers.
