In a major initiative to promote environmental responsibility, Winnebago Industries (WGO) has announced a groundbreaking partnership with the non-profit organization Leave No Trace. This collaboration aims to promote environmental stewardship specifically in recreational vehicle (RV) and boating activities by adapting the 7 Leave No Trace principles into practical guidelines for RVers and boaters.
The newly introduced guidelines for RV owners include recommendations such as parking only in designated areas, keeping pets leashed or inside RVs, and driving cautiously to protect campgrounds and parks. For boating enthusiasts, the recommendations focus on protecting waterways by avoiding shallow waters, thoroughly cleaning vessels to prevent invasive species, and practicing low-noise navigation near residential and natural reserves.
Stacy Bogart, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Responsibility lead at Winnebago Industries, emphasized the company's commitment to protecting the planet by educating their customers on being good stewards of the outdoors. This collaboration further reinforces Winnebago’s dedication to enhancing responsible outdoor recreation practices.
