What is Tread Lightly!?

The treadlightly! team standing in a row in front of a building.

Tread Lightly! is a national nonprofit organization with a mission to promote responsible recreation through stewardship programs and ethics education. Tread Lightly!’s educational message, unique training, and restoration initiatives are strategically designed to instill an ethic of responsibility in outdoor enthusiasts and the industries that serve them. Basically, Tread Lightly! encourages everyone to leave our trails better than we found them to keep them open and accessible.

The Partnership with Escapod

We love taking our teardrops off-road all over the country! If you support our public lands and trails, we want to say thank you. When you become a Tread Lightly! member at select levels, you are eligible for discounts on Escapod rentals and purchases. Check out our blog to learn more!

T.R.E.A.D.

This is a simple acronym that can be applied to any outdoor activity to remember how to get outside with minimal impact to trails, parks, and forests.

The T.R.E.A.D. Principles

Avoid Sensitive Areas on lands such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands, and streams. Always ride with caution any time water is present. Wet soils are more susceptible to damage. Riding along river and stream beds causes erosion and habitat destruction. Stay on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb historical, archeological, or paleontological sites.
