Become a leader in caring for our planet.

Are you passionate about protecting the outdoors for future generations? The Leave No Trace Level 2 Instructor course is designed for those committed to preserving nature and teaching others to do the same by leading Level 1 and Leave No Trace Skills courses. At the start of the course, participants will have a chance to share their personal "why" for valuing the outdoors. Though SROM is a faith-based Christian organization, this course is focused on Leave No Trace training. Our instructors will offer a brief Christian perspective on the importance of environmental stewardship, but beyond this, all teaching strictly follows the Leave No Trace curriculum. Join us and become a leader in outdoor conservation.

ESSENTIAL ELIGIBILITY
There are no prerequisites for this course except a desire to learn and grow. We will teach you the Leave No Trace Curriculum and some tips and tricks on how to teach it in the areas where you are working, guiding, or teaching.
Skill Level

Physical Ability

Physical Ability:

  • Carry a day pack with essentials, hiking 4-8 miles a day
  • Hike on uneven terrain, in water, and on slick rock, at elevations of 3,500 ft. and up
  • Long days, often up at 6am and in bed at 9pm

We understand the physical requirements may seem overwhelming, but we find most people with basic physical fitness do great.

Arrival
You will meet your leaders and team at the Zion National Park Visitor Center on your first day. The day will start with a brief orientation as you get to know your leaders and team members. We will issue any materials you need for the course and lead you in some intro Leave No Trace activities.
On the Trip

Each day you and your team will set out among the iconic canyons of Zion National Park. The day will begin together by driving to one of the many amazing trails within the park, and along the hike each person will do a short teaching about one of the 7 Leave No Trace Principles.

There, you will experience many opportunities to see how to facilitate conversations with other people on the trails about the importance of Leave No Trace, as well as discuss as a group tips and tricks to engage people in a way to create a positive impact.
