Description: Offered by Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics staff, this open-enrollment Trainer Course is designed to enhance your understanding of Leave No Trace ethics and to increase your skill level of expertise and confidence in teaching Leave No Trace. Through focused activities, hands-on field experience and both formal and informal discussions, you will be introduced to concepts and methods that will advance your knowledge of Leave No Trace issues, expand your repertoire of low-impact techniques and increase your effectiveness in teaching these important skills to others.
