That’s what it says at every entrance to the national park.
Visitors are asked to take their rubbish home with them. But even so, more and more litter is ending up in the countryside.
If everyone simply picked up 4 pieces of rubbish on their walk through the national park and disposed of them properly, that would already be a big achievement.
Your rubbish, my rubbish
We were inspired by an Australian Instagram campaign.
People pick up 3 pieces of rubbish on their trip to the beach following the hashtag #3forthesea. It works in the forest, too.
Join in and post your finds as #4fortheforest!
Paper bags to collect the litter are available free of charge at the national parks centre in Bad Schandau.
