Location: Esplanade & 5:00

Description:

Earth Guardians are an outreach and communications volunteer group whose mission is to educate and inspire Burning Man participants to Leave No Trace (LNT) at the event. We can go beyond leaving "no trace" and leave instead, positive traces on the land. Come see our many bike nature and geology tours, sustainability speakers, DIY workshops, Aztec Burner dances, or volunteer training and gatherings! Come and volunteer on our LNT and compliance outreach teams or participate in a Gerlach LNT our hot-spring patrol, or jump on our MOOP train.
