WeConservePA plans to offer a two-day Leave No Trace trainer course in partnership with instructors from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy this fall. We seek an organization to host this training on two consecutive days during the week of September 12. Participants in the two-day trainer course will learn Leave No Trace skills and ethics as well as techniques for educating others about these low impact practices.
