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 train other educators, clubs,
employees, visitors, enthusiasts or community members
in the Tread Lightly! ethic. The program was created
as a mechanism to disseminate the Tread Lightly! message
of responsible recreation through volunteerism.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Trainers that complete a one-day training course on
the Tread Lightly! ethic are asked to give presentations
about the Tread Lightly! principles to a minimum of 50
people within two years through recreation events, club
meetings, staff training, safety courses, Tread Lightly!
Awareness Workshops or other means.
BENEFITS:
Trainers receive a 100-page manual, 2 Tread Lightly!
PowerPoint presentations on CD, certificate of completion,
set of durable plastic Tread Lightly! hangtags, set of
guides for responsible recreation, set of quick-tip brochures,
set of PSAs, "On the Right Trail" video, an extra discount
on all Tread Lightly! products, $25 in free Tread Lightly!
educational materials, use of Tread Lightly!’s
mascot costume and table-top display upon request, and
updates through a semi-annual newsletter, emails and
website.
Trainers also receive improvements in presentation skills,
networking opportunities with other agencies/organizations
at the course, and firm comprehension of outdoor ethics
and ways to minimize impacts when recreating.
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.
