Leave No Trace Trainer Course
Trainer Courses are the second highest level of Leave No Trace training. The Leave No Trace Trainer Courses provide participants with innovative teaching skills to educate a wide range of students on low-impact recreation.
Participants get a comprehensive overview of Leave No Trace through direct, in-field experience during the two-day overnight course in an outdoor setting. The course covers the principles, mission, and ethics of Leave No Trace and includes information about the trainer's role and techniques for educating others. Participants learn to effectively educate their friends, family, and community about Leave No Trace, as well as lead Awareness Workshops. WWTA has trained 39 trainers to date.
