The LNT Train-the-Trainer Course
Participants in the two-day Trainer Course will learn Leave No Trace skills and ethics as well as techniques for educating others about these low impact practices. Trainer Courses typically take place over two consecutive days and involve spending more than half of the course outdoors. This course is both in a classroom setting and in the out-of-doors. Instructors will guide potential LNT trainers on the appropriate educational materials to purchase and how to inexpensively create training aids. The course tuition pays for lunch and a collection of educator materials.
