THE OUTDOORS GIVES US ALOT
WE SHOULD GIVE SOMETHING BACK.
Fellman was built through time spent outside.
Across mountains, fells, forests and trails, we've also seen the impact people can leave behind — from litter beside paths to waste abandoned far from the places it's easily removed.
Leave No Trace is our commitment to doing something about it.
Through clean-ups, responsible outdoor practice and the Fellman community, we want to help protect the landscapes that give us somewhere to explore in the first place.
Not just leaving no trace. Leaving places better where we can.
WHAT WE DO: ACTION, NOT JUST ADVICE
WILDERNESS CLEAN-UPS
Getting boots on the ground to remove litter and abandoned waste from outdoor spaces — including harder-to-reach places where clearing it isn't always easy.
COMMUNITY ACTION
Bringing people together to give something back to the landscapes we all use.
FIELD EDUCATION
Sharing practical, responsible outdoor advice through Field Advice, Field Notes and our wider content.
RESPONSIBLE EXPLORATION
Making Leave No Trace part of how Fellman approaches its own camps, trips, product testing and time outside.
NEXT PROJECT
CLEAN-UP 001: SNAKE WOODLANDS
DERBYSHIRE · 2026
Our first Fellman Leave No Trace clean-up will take us into Snake Woodlands to remove litter and waste from an outdoor space that deserves better.
Full details including the date, meeting point, timings and how to take part will be announced once confirmed.

GET INVOLVED
EVERY PAIR OF HANDS HELPS.
You don't need to do everything to make a difference. Join us in the field, take action when you're outside, or help support the projects that make it possible.
JOIN A CLEAN-UP
Come along to a Fellman Leave No Trace project and help us remove litter and abandoned waste directly from the landscape.
No previous experience needed — just a willingness to get involved and leave somewhere better than we found it.
DO IT ANYWAY
You don't need to wait for an organised Fellman event.
If it's safe and practical, pick up what you find and carry it out with you. One piece of litter might not feel significant, but thousands of people doing the same thing can be.
Leave it better, wherever you go.
SUPPORT THE PROJECT
Want to help even if you can't join us in the field?
You can support Fellman Leave No Trace through Buy Me a Coffee. Contributions will help towards the practical logistics behind our clean-ups — including travel, clean-up equipment and responsible disposal of the waste we collect.
Every contribution helps us do more on the ground.
7 PRINCIPLES
ONE SIMPLE IDEA.
Enjoy the outdoors responsibly and leave as little evidence of your visit as possible.
Whether it's a night on the fells, a day on the trail or somewhere further from home, these principles provide a simple framework for reducing our impact on the places we explore.
01 — PLAN AHEAD & PREPARE
Know where you're going, check the conditions and understand any local restrictions before setting out.
Good preparation keeps you safer and reduces the chance of unnecessary impact on the landscape.
02 — BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS
The outdoors is shared.
Keep noise to a minimum, respect local communities and landowners, and give others the space to enjoy the landscape in their own way.
03 — RESPECT WILDLIFE & LIVESTOCK
Observe wildlife from a distance and avoid disturbing, feeding or approaching animals.
Keep dogs under appropriate control and take extra care around livestock, nesting birds and other sensitive wildlife.
04 — TRAVEL & CAMP RESPONSIBLY
Use established paths and durable surfaces where possible.
When camping, choose your pitch carefully, keep your footprint small and leave the ground as you found it when you move on.
05 — LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND
Leave rocks, plants, historical features and natural objects where they belong.
Take photographs and memories home instead.
06 — DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
If you carried it in, carry it out.
That includes packaging, food waste, tissues and anything else you've brought with you. Never assume something is harmless simply because it's biodegradable.
07 — MINIMISE THE IMPACT OF FIRE
Avoid open fires where they could damage the landscape or create unnecessary risk.
Use a stove where appropriate, follow local restrictions and leave no burned or scorched ground behind.
OUR IMPACT
ACTION YOU CAN MEASURE.
THE FIRST FELLMAN LEAVE NO TRACE PROJECT BEGINS IN 2026.
As the project grows, we'll record what we achieve — from clean-ups completed and people involved to the amount of waste removed from the landscape.
