The Master Course provides participants with a comprehensive overview of Leave No Trace skills and ethics through practical application in a field-based setting. The first day is spent in a classroom, introducing the course and schedule, providing in-depth information on the overall Leave No Trace program and the Center for Outdoor Ethics, reviewing gear, and packing. The remaining days are spent in the field on a short backcountry trip learning and practicing the principles of Leave No Trace.
This Leave No Trace Master Educator Course is five days in length and is designed for people who are actively teaching others backcountry skills or providing recreation information to the public. We will be backpacking in scenic Red River Gorge of Daniel Boone National Forest, Kentucky. Successful graduates of the Master Educator course have the ability to train others in Leave No Trace skills and ethics, and can offer Leave No Trace Trainer courses and Awareness Workshops.
