Tread Lightly! Tread Trainer Course and Awareness Workshop

Bossquatch (Boss73) and i are planning a series of Tread Lightly!® courses and workshops for NorCal FJs and friends and would like to know how many of you are interested in attending. as Tread Lightly! Master Tread Trainers™, we'll train you to become official Tread Lightly! Tread Trainers as well as conduct awareness workshops for those who wish to learn about Tread Lightly! principles, but not become a Tread Trainer. at this time, no dates are set although the first course (depending on demand and preference) will take place within the next 2-3 months.

for those of you who have kids, participate in a variety of events, or recreate with groups, becoming a Tread Trainer may be the most rewarding. certification provides you with the required knowledge to educate other groups of outdoor enthusiasts as well as Tread Lightly! perks that will serve as educational tools for your future workshops.

for those of you who like to recreate in the outdoors and want to know how you can minimize your impact as well as practice Tread Lightly! ethics and principles, the Tread Lightly! Awareness Workshop may be suitable for you.

please respond with your course preference. you may choose to attend both courses. your response is not binding, nor does it guarantee you a spot. registration fees may apply at the time of registration.

Tread Trainer Course Description
Tread Lightly!’s Tread Trainer course is an 8-hour course designed to provide a “crash course” on outdoor ethics focusing on outdoor recreation and minimizing impact. Participation in the course qualifies individuals to present the Tread Lightly! message to others in their state or region. Participants will work on understanding the role outdoor ethics play in the recreation community, learn the Tread Lightly! principles of responsible recreation, and be provided with the tools to conduct workshops and coordinate community outreach.

The Tread Trainer course is designed to help volunteers promote the message of responsible recreation where lands and waters are protected, safety is a top priority, and the experience of being outdoors is shared.

Tread Lightly! Awareness Workshop
This Awareness Workshop is a 3-hour course that will provide attendees with an introduction to Tread Lightly! principles and how to apply them while recreating in the great outdoors. The workshop will provide you with situational awareness, the know-how on minimizing your impact while recreating and the outdoor ethic that will help sustain our trails for generations to come.

Yes this is somehting that we need to figure out and get somehting going..

I do like the thought of at High sierra.. Hmmmmm
High Sierra would provide a nice backdrop for a 3-hour class and we could even add a hands-on element to it, which is usually not included in the awareness course. perhaps we will conduct another course the following weekend at Hollister for those who are not attending the High Sierra Run.
Don't you just hate it when fun stuff gets in the way! No worries. If nothing else it's back on the board & more are interested.
I would be interested as well, depending on when/where. I could maybe incorporate it into a business trip up north
Is it too late to become interested in this? I'd like to participate in the 3-hour workshop when it is scheduled.
Thanks.
I am in for the three hour one--
may upgrade to the 8 hour depending on the date(s)
Id be interested in the 3hr workshop!
We would both be interested in the 3 hour workshop.
The 3 hour course during the Sierra run sounds good to me. Maybe the 8 hour course is a good excuse to spend a weekend at Hollister again depending on the dates.

I am interested.  I shot Mary of TL! an email to see if there are any more openings.

 

 

Just got an email -- Mary tells me there is lots of room.

First of all I want to say sorry to everyone because its been a long time with little results. Last year I had family issues that I had to deal with and Tater and I never had a chance to give this event the attention it needs. We are, as of right now, in talks with Holister Hills to have a class at one of their classroom building. (HHORA Building if anyone knews where that is.)..

 

Many more details need to be worked out but we are hoping to get a March date ( nothing has been confirmed so don't hold me to this).

 

Of cours if anyone would like to go to the other Tread Lightly! events they are all great to attend and have lots of Great information..

 

Stay tuned........

 

Tater and I are trying to get an event going at Hollister.
