Nature First Principles of Photography

In line with the core values of The Mountaineers, our committee commits to recreate responsibly during our courses and field trips. We will also help educate others in these principles 

Nature First Principles:

  • Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography
  • Educate yourself about the places you photograph
  • Reflect on the possible impact of your actions
  • Use discretion if sharing locations
  • Know and follow rules and regulations
  • Always follow the Leave No Trace Principles
  • Actively promote and educate others about these principles
