TREAD TRAINER COURSES:

Tread Lightly!®’s Tread Trainer™ (TT) course is an 8-hour course designed to provide a “crash course” in outdoor ethics focusing on motorized and mechanized recreation on both land and water. Participation in the course qualifies individuals to present the Tread Lightly! message to others in their state or region. Participants will work with Master Trainers or Tread Lightly! staff 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 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 outdoor ethics.

  • Have a current Tread Lightly! membership.

Presentations in the form of workshops, speaking engagements, or staff training are all acceptable. And/Or:Provide promotion, in which people gain a general awareness of Tread Lightly!, within two years of the initial training date.

A Tread Trainer’s experience includes:

  • Completed a Trainer course provided by Tread Lightly! staff or by an active Master Tread Trainer.

Tread Lightly! Tread Trainer

TREAD LIGHTLY! HAS MORE THAN 2,000 TREAD TRAINERS NATIONWIDE!
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. Once a participant becomes active in the Tread Trainer program he or she is equipped with the knowledge to recreate responsibly; present the Tread Lightly! message to other educators, clubs, employees, visitors, enthusiasts or community members, or train additional Tread Lightly! instructors.

HOW IT WORKS
As more and more people visit public lands for recreation, the resources can quickly become overused. Lack of government funding to repair dilapidated facilities and perform regular maintenance can lead to closures, which puts an even higher burden on surrounding recreation areas.

In order to combat these problems, Tread Lightly! developed Tread Trainer: a train-the-trainer program that provides the tools and education needed to produce responsible stewards – people who will care for the land they use.

When recreationists understand the consequences of their actions and behaviors, they are more likely to act in responsible ways. The Tread Trainer program provides the education needed to bring different types of recreationists together for the betterment of the common areas they enjoy.

TREAD TRAINER
Tread Trainers have gone a step further and have decided they want to help others learn to be responsible stewards. They have taken a Tread Trainer course and have the ability to hold informational trainings and seminars for the general public or outdoor enthusiast groups. They can also represent Tread Lightly! at events like sportsmen’s expos, OHV events and more.
