	Your last responsibility as camp LNT lead is to ensure that your camp has left no trace on its designated area. To do this, lead a final line sweep across your entire area (everything you roped off during Placement). Plan this for after most tents and infrastructure have been broken down, but before everyone has left — line sweeps are much faster and more thorough when you have more people!

	To conduct a line sweep, form a line where everyone is able to touch fingers with arms outstretched (closer if possible). Walk in a line, at the same pace. If someone is getting ahead or falling behind, regroup. Don’t forget to look up in trees, into ferns, and under ground cover. People often ~~forget~~ bungee cords, tent stakes, and other items that aren’t easy to spot.

If someone is getting ahead or falling behind, regroup. Don’t forget to look up in trees, into ferns, and under ground cover. You can use a long stick or your foot to move around the leaf litter, poke into ferns and find objects that may have gotten buried. People often leave bungee cords, tent stakes, and other items that aren’t easy to spot.

	If you will not be the last person at your camp, please make sure you delegate this task to a trusted campmate.
