Community Spotlight: Fannin County Chamber of Commerce and CVB (Georgia's Blue Ridge) In 2020, this Georgia community partner faced a surge in visitors due to COVID-19, leading to overuse and damage to trails and outdoor areas. In response, they spread the Leave No Trace message through billboards, ads, websites, and publications, reaching millions with the call to pack out what you pack in and preserve these beautiful spaces. Local high schoolers also joined the effort by growing milkweed to promote native pollinator gardens.
