There are 3 levels of training recognized by Leave No Trace Canada. This course is the highest of the three and, after successful completion, enables students to teach both Awareness Workshops and Trainer Courses. In addition to in-depth instruction on the seven principles of Leave No Trace, this course will teach participants how to teach other trainers. It is ideal for people in leadership positions with youth and adults in the outdoors. This includes scouting leaders, park rangers, youth group leaders, camp educational directors, or others involved in environmental education.
