Free for Partners | Leave No Trace Proud Supporter Program

The Sedona Chamber made an investment for Sedona Chamber partners to have access to the official Leave No Trace Proud Supporters materials. You can use them to educate your guests on the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace. These professionally-created materials include logos, icons, social-sized images and signs for you to download and use in all of your communications.

Be part of a larger initiative to amplify our message of environmental responsibility as well as give visitors the information they need to be part of the solution.
