Simply
put, Tread
Lightly! is focused on helping us minimize our
impact on the environment. If we don't take care of
it while we're there, we'll lose the right to be there.
Straight
from there website:

of tools to help spread our crucial outdoor ethics
message.
Your
participation is vital to our work. Make

In
everyday offroading, this may seem to take some of
the fun out of it. But if your group is consistantly
blazing new trails by driving through bogs, etc.,
it has a huge impact on the overall access to lands
our sport faces.
Most
of what they suggest is simple stuff - stay on already
established trails, pack it out, stay away from water
crossings, etc.
More
and more groups and clubs are following these guidelines,
and even more should.
