As we build our capacity to train others, our training frequency will increase. To learn about our training structure click here. If you have a group of people who are interested in training, please contact admin@leavenotrace.org.nz and we can discuss your options and develop a Leave No Trace course for your group. The training documented here does not include the people who have already completed training and who are now training others as part of their work as teachers, outdoor leaders or have other roles.
