Learn Leave No Trace to help protect nature for generations to come! This workshop is an introduction to Leave No Trace including the seven principles. This interactive course will cover each principle, as well as provide explanations for the actions outdoor recreationists can take to support Leave No Trace efforts. No previous experience is required.

This course will be held at the Education Yurts beginning at 9:00 and ending around noon. Parking is included with this program and is available next to the yurts. Most of the program will be spent inside the classroom yurt, however we will head outside for a few activities whenever possible. The yurt is heated with a pellet stove, but can be chilly, so please dress warm. Please be prepared for unpredictable weather.

Participants should arrive prepared to learn with a writing utensil, snacks, and plenty of water. Please note that no meals or lodging are provided with program registration.
