This program was made possible by

Recreational Trails Program

 

 

In Tread Lightly!’s challenge to promote outdoor ethics and responsible recreation, the Tread Trainer™ program came to be in the spring of 2003. Training opportunities are provided through the program to a multitude of champions willing to spread Tread Lightly!’s message.

By creating a cadre of volunteers and partners in education, Tread Lightly! is able to professionally train thousands and genuinely educate millions within just a few years.

The Program-How It Works

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 to present the Tread Lightly! message to other educators, clubs, employees, visitors, enthusiasts or community members.
