My colleague Ben and I just got off of the phone with Beverley Pierson, the program manager for Leave No Trace Ireland as well as their Board President, Bill Murphy. In a few short years, Ireland has built a solid, supported Leave No Trace program, and today we talked with them about their involvement with the Irish Canoe Union on a new project.
Leave No Trace Ireland is a strong example of how our Leave No Trace programs are applied and altered in the international community. From their application of the Leave No Trace Seven Principles, to defining a training structure that meets the needs of their constituents, a group from the outdoors, industry and education have assembled to develop a robust model for the environmental skills and ethics program, even in a uncertain economy like ours. Visit their website to see what I mean: http://leavenotraceireland.org
