What is Leave No Trace?
Leave No Trace is an educational nonprofit organization dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors by all people, worldwide.
What is the Leave No Trace e-tour?
The Leave No Trace e-tour brings hands-on Leave No Trace demonstrations, interactive activities and general Leave No Trace education to select retail stores across the country from May through early August. A team of two dynamic educators travel to retailers specializing in Coleman outdoor products in order to promote Leave No Trace information to kids and families. The e-tour works to provide basic Leave No Trace education programs that will inspire youth to get outside, have fun and be safe, while promoting responsible enjoyment of the outdoors.
What does the e-tour stand for?
Explore, Enjoy, Experience, Excitement, Expedition, Education
What type of programs will the E-Tour provide?
Kids Workshop 2PM-3PM- The e-tour provides hands-on educational workshops and information to youth 6-18 years old. These programs are designed to introduce kids to the outdoors and peak their interest in outdoor recreation and stewardship. This workshop will include slideshows, games and information on how to become a Leave No Trace steward. This hour long workshop will include many Leave No Trace PEAK Activities, http://www.lnt.org/programs/peak.php.
Leader Training- TBD if interested please respond to email. The e-tour team is willing to offer a one to two hour leader training for those interested in teaching kids how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly. The Leave No Trace message helps public land visitors understand and practice minimum impact skills and ethics. Information from the Leave No Trace program, coupled with a visitor’s attitude, and ethical commitment to land stewardship, makes the Leave No Trace program useful for all recreationists, regardless of whether they are on a day trip or a month-long expedition.
