Registration for this course is through American Trails and is found in the registration information/process for
the National Trails Symposium. You do not have to register for the National Trails Symposium to take the
course. If you have specific questions about the course please contact Tread Lightly! at 800‐966‐9900 or
treadtrainer@treadlightly.org.
DESCRIPTION:
The Tread Trainer program is designed to train participants in innovative, practical methods of spreading outdoor
ethics to the public with a curriculum specifically focused on motorized and mechanized recreation.
Completing the one‐day Tread Trainer course will qualify the participant to become a Tread Lightly!
representative—a Tread Trainer. Once a participant becomes a Tread Trainer, he or she is equipped to present the
Tread Lightly! message to other educators, clubs, employees, visitors, enthusiasts or community members. The
program was created as a mechanism to disseminate the Tread Lightly! message of responsible recreation through
volunteerism.
COMPONENTS:
Trainers complete a one‐day training course on the Tread Lightly! ethic and are qualified to present the Tread
Lighlty! message.
REQUIREMENTS TO REMAIN ACTIVE:
Trainers are required to complete a minimum of one Tread Lightly! presentation or promotion within two years to
maintain program benefits.
BENEFITS:
Trainers receive 100‐page manual, 2 Tread Lightly! PowerPoint presentations on CD, certificate of completion, a set
of durable plastic Tread Lightly! hangtags, set of guides for responsible recreation, set of PSAs, "On the Right Trail"
video, $25 annually in free educational materials, and an extra discount on all Tread Lightly! materials.
Trainers also receive improvements in presentation skills, networking opportunities with other
agencies/organizations at the course, expertise in Tread Lightly! ethics and ways to minimize outdoor impacts when
recreating, use of the display upon request, updates through a semi‐annual newsletter, emails and website.
The key to a successful workshop is to have participants that are familiar with Tread Lightly!, involved in community
outreach or recreational training programs, or are interested in developing a higher awareness and competency on
responsible recreation ethics.
To register for the Tread Trainer Course visit Tread Lightly!’s website at
www.treadlightly.org or call 800‐966‐9900.
This program is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Federal Highway Administration’s Recreational
Trails Program. |

I would have liked to though. Might have made a difference in the Brock Creek/Red River trial system and also a route from BC to White Rock.
Maybe next year if it happens... |
