Llama Dung. Dung happens! Disperse (kick/spread) it from your llamas camping spot when you leave. We go over this thoroughly in our llama lease program, but unfortunately it is probably the largest poor management practice by some of the llama trekkers. We see the llama dung piles, and so do others. Does it matter? Yes, it does matter on many fronts. 1) Leaving little llama dung piles burns small holes in the fragile alpine environment. By dispersing the dung piles with a few swift kicks not only eliminates this but it fertilizes the soil over a larger area. 2) By leaving llama dung piles you are leaving it for the next back packer to set his tent up on, for a few years. If you disperse the dung, the pellets will biodegrade and break down at a much faster rate, leaving the area acceptable for a tent the next year. 3) By spreading the dung piles it creates faster natural production of the grasses making it available for forage to wildlife or the next traveling llama or horse.
