It take a plastic water bottle 450 years to decompose in IDEAL conditions. When it comes to our forests, rivers, and streams, that timeline can stretch out to nearly forever. ⁣

Make a difference by keeping single use plastic out of our public lands. To learn how to Leave It Better, check out the 🔗 in our bio!

For forest supervisor Jason Guidry of DuPont State

For forest supervisor Jason Guidry of DuPont State Recreational Forest, learning how to Leave It Better is at the heart of stewardship and protecting our public lands. Coming together to learn how we can each play our part in this important initiative is critical to protecting and maintaining our wonderful forests for generations to come.⁣⁣

"The improper disposal of trash and recyclables is a persistent and unfortunate issue for DuPont State Recreational Forest. These conditions are damaging to natural systems and really diminish our users' experience at the forest. We all continue to benefit from strong local partners like Explore Brevard when they provide an effective approach to adjusting visitor behavior and values... one of education and heightened awareness for those enjoying our community and our public lands."⁣
