Awareness Workshop

An Awareness Workshop is a formal Leave No Trace presentation that is one day or less in length. The workshop can include a wide variety of programs, ranging from a 30-minute presentation to a full day workshop. These workshops are designed for a variety of groups, including educators, children, tertiary students, Scouts, outdoor professionals, trails and conservation crews, recreation club members, and others interested in Leave No Trace skills and ethics.
