Task · part of 6. Environmental impact, reclamation, and what land is for afterwards
6(b). Reclamation, and how it relates to Leave No Trace
Required
Explain reclamation as it is used in mining, and how mine reclamation pertains to the Leave No Trace Seven Principles and the Outdoor Code.
Notes and warnings
Note. Two things joined: what reclamation is in mining, and how it relates to the Leave No Trace Seven Principles and the Outdoor Code. The second half is the part that gets skipped, and it is the reason this requirement is on a Scouting badge rather than an engineering course.
