When I hike the trails, I roll off all the rocks and logs that I can, and
use my hiking pole to flip as many sticks and limbs off the trail as
possible. After many miles it makes a difference, especially if everyone
flips some sticks and rolls some rocks. Rebuilding trail tread and sawing
through logs is for the pros, but we can each do our own part while we are
out for a hike by cleaning the trails. The PCT section I hiked in the
Trinitys this past weekend is in much better condition today due to my work
as I hiked it.

On CDT-L someone said how you should leave a trace by doing
impromptu maintenance. I am not sure how effective that may or may not
be, but figure doing some trail work with a group is a great way to
"Leave a trace".
