Training Courses
Leave No Trace Trainer Courses
The Leave No Trace principles might seem unimportant until you consider the combined effects of millions of outdoor visitors. One poorly located campsite or campfire may have little significance, but thousands of such instances seriously degrade the outdoor experience for all. Leaving no trace is everyones responsibility. This course provides training for those who wish to impart the principles to others.
