We are the first county in the country to adopt the' Leave no Trace Program'. Our island was in the forefront of promoting the program. Here is a short, fun video of some details.

It’s a good thing to take care of your wilderness. Land use is so intense over here that there are only small nature parks left in the country where I live.

Certainly there are conservation programs and land use rules in Hollaand. I have been there many times. I really liked it.
@JackPedigo Yes there are, and there are still some beautiful parks and waterways. But you can’t take a kayak out to a set of islands and go camping in the wilderness like you can in the Pacific north west. It’s a different kind of world.
@Denker It is and I constantly remind myself of that. Have you been here? Do you know of the travel group Servas Int'l (https://servas.org/). I am a host and have hosted people from all over including one guy from Amsterdam.
@JackPedigo I spent some time during my childhood in the Seattle area, my dad and me used to make trips out to the islands sometimes. It was a fun time.
