The Tahoe Rim Trail Association has partnered with Leave No Trace’s Traveling Trainers to present a Leave No Trace Trainer Course Friday, June 13 and Saturday June 14. The two-day course will cover hands-on training in Leave No Trace skills and ethics, and how to apply them in the backcountry. Additionally participants will learn techniques for disseminating these low impact skills. The course will be held in the backcountry giving participants a chance not only to learn, but to live the ethic as well.
The course is designed for educators, guides, agency employees, and outdoor professionals and enthusiasts. Successful graduates of the Trainer Course gain the skills to teach Leave No Trace techniques and ethics to their clients, friends and family. Participants learn the concepts of Leave No Trace and prepare to teach Leave No Trace curriculum in a variety of settings-schools, camps, parks, wilderness and front country areas.
The course is $65 dollars which includes a one year membership to LNT non profit, certification, educational materials, and cool outdoor products, plus two meals. There will an indoor and outdoor class setting, hiking, and camping out one night. Space is limited so register early. Please contact Allison at the Tahoe Rim Trail at Allisonb@tahoerimtrail.org or call 775-298-0238 to register and get information.
