Announcing a Master Tread Trainer Course in Great Falls, Montana

Tread Lightly! would like to invite you to participate in an upcoming Master Tread Trainer Course. The Tread Trainer program is designed to train participants in innovative, practical methods of spreading outdoor ethics (specifically regarding motorized and mechanized recreation) to the public. The training is provided through a o­ne-day course and will qualify the participant to become a Tread Lightly! representative-- a "Master Tread Trainer."

Tread Lightly! is a nonprofit organization that educates people to minimize their impact in the outdoors. We specifically focus o­n motorized and mechanized recreation.

Once a participant becomes a "Master Tread Trainer" they are required to train other educators, clubs, employees, enthusiasts or community members to be "Tread Trainers"-- adding a whole new dimension to your organization's educational goals or your personal volunteer activities.

PowerPoint presentations o­n CD, certificate of completion, button-down collared Master Tread Trainer shirt, 50 durable plastic Tread Lightly! hangtags, set of guidebooks, set of PSAs, set of brochures, "On the Right Trail" video, 6 foot long Tread Lightly! outdoor banner, and an extra discount o­n all Tread Lightly! materials.

Intangible Benefits: Recognition as a Tread Lightly! member, expertise in Tread Lightly! ethics and ways to minimize outdoor impacts when recreating; methods of teaching ethics to club members, new 4-wheel owners, organization leaders, kids, etc; networking opportunities with other agencies/organizations at the course; ability to train others to become "Tread Trainers" and improvement in presentation skills.
