Leave No Trace Trainer Course



This two-day course on May 27 and 28, 2023 takes place mostly outdoors and includes an overnight camping stay. Participants learn about the seven principles of Leave No Trace (LNT) as well as simple ways to reduce their negative impacts on the natural environment. Through interactive activities, they also learn to educate others about low-impact outdoor practices. Following this training, new Instructors are encouraged to give awareness workshops to spread the word.

The course will be delivered by a LNT Master Educator. It is offered through Hike Nova Scotia, supported by Explore Magazine and Coleman Canada, in conjunction with Leave No Trace Canada, and by the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage.

This is a two-day course running from 9 am to 5 pm each day with short breaks throughout. There are both indoor and outdoor elements (but mostly outdoors). While there will be an indoor venue, the Saturday night will be spent outside in tents. The supper meal and breakfast can be prepared and eaten indoors.
