Acadia National Park Stewardship Patch

"Follow cairns-don't build them." 
Following the painted blazes and stone markers (cairns) on hiking trails without adding to them is important: moving rocks can destroy the plants around them.  Building extra cairns can mislead other hikers and get them lost.  Rock sculptures and structures on the park's landscape are an intrusion on the natural scene the glaciers created. Please wear this patch proudly and help spread the word to Leave No Trace!
