Leave-No-Trace Trainer Course
The Trainer Course is a vital component of the nationwide Leave No Trace program. It is a shortened version of the Master course. Participants receive introductory training in Leave No Trace skills and ethics in a condensed two-day format. The Trainer Course assists the student participants in learning more about the seven principles of Leave No Trace and techniques for disseminating these low impact skills.
At KMG we are able to offer LNT Awareness Workshops and LNT Trainer Courses. These two courses are great for everybody. From the person who is backpacking for the first time to the professional mountain and river guides, these courses will fill your brain with the knowledge of how to Leave-No-Trace. All LNT courses are run on a custom basis.
If you work in the outdoors in a leadership role, such as a river or mountain guide, ski instructor, or jeep tour guide become an LNT Trainer and pass on the good wisdom of LNT! Please contact us if you or your organization are interested in either a LNT Awareness Workshop or LNT Trainer Course.
