+ All wild places
The souluna festival site and campground is set in natUre and boarders the old man river. our community values this ecosystem. We are committed to leaving no physical trace after our gatherings and whenever possible, aim to leave such places better than we found them.
Use the garbage bags provided and take out everything you pack in, including garbage, compost and recycling. we invite you to consider these ‘leave no trace’ principles when planing for your next souluna adventure.
How to | Leave no trace
PlAn ahead + Prepare
Repackage food to minimize waste. 75% of all garbage is food packaging.
Plan Your Meals
Buy local, Waste less, Share the Rest. Meals are another element to trip planning that can have a profound effect on the impact a group has on ecosystems we make temporary homes out of.
One-Pot Meals and Food Repackaging
One-pot meals and light weight snacks requires minimum packing and preparation time, lightens loads and decreases waste. One-pot meals require minimal cooking utensils and eliminate the need for a campfire.
Ideally, remove commercial packing prior to leaving your home, and placed in re-sealable containers. This will reduce waste at your campsite and help manage leftovers and provide extra dishes for sharing food with surprise guests.
Bring natural or biodegradable soap, toothpaste, cleaners.
**Use the Garbage bags and recycling bags provided and pack it out with you.**
Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
Durable surfaces include established trails and campsites, rock, gravel, dry grasses or snow.
Good campsites are found, not made. Altering a site is not necessary.
Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites.
Keep campsites small. Focus activity in areas where vegetation is absent.
Dispose of Waste Properly
Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food, and litter.
To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 70 meters away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater.
Leave What You Find
Preserve the past: examine, but do not touch, cultural or historic structures and artifacts.
Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them.
Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species.
Minimize Campfire Impacts
Do not move fire rings
Campfires can cause lasting impacts to the backcountry. Use a lightweight stove for cooking and enjoy a candle lantern for light.
Where fires are permitted, use established fire rings.
Keep fires small. Only use sticks from the ground that can be broken by hand.
Burn all wood and coals to ash, put out campfires completely, then scatter cool ashes.
Respect Wildlife (The Community of Life)
Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them.
Never feed animals. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, and exposes them to predators and other dangers.
Protect wildlife and your food by storing rations and trash securely.
Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: mating, nesting, raising young.
Respect Wildlife (The Community of Life)
Respect other festival goers and the quality of their experience.
Please be mindful of late night and early morning noise.
Leave it Better,
Leave it Beautiful'.
