Announcing A Tread Trainer Course In Washington state

This just in from our friends at Tread Lightly!
I just received the email.

Quote:

The nonprofit organization Tread Lightly! would like to invite you to participate in an upcoming Tread Trainer Course in the Seattle/Tacoma area on Saturday, March 15 at the Toyota of Puyallup dealership.

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 a "Tread Trainer," he or she is equipped to present the Tread Lightly! message to new riders, club members, co-workers, tourists, scouts, classrooms, or others-- adding a whole new dimension to his/her organization's educational goals or personal volunteer activities.

The Tread Trainer program was recently highlighted by the National Forest Foundation as a key aid in confronting the threat of unmanaged OHV recreation to public land. Hundreds of enthusiast club members, tour guides, safety trainers, and land managers from all over the country have been trained and are proclaiming the program's crucial value in today's recreation issues.

TANGIBLE 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, an "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.

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 others; networking opportunities with other agencies/organizations at the course; the ability to effectively spread outdoor ethics; and improvement in presentation skills.

DATE AND TIME: Saturday, March 15, 2008, 10:00am to 6:00pm

PLACE: Toyota of Puyallup, 1400 River Road, Puyallup, WA 98371

I did one about a month back down here in Arizona. Great class, met great people and it inspired me to set up a clean up.

That would be pretty cool if they would offer something like that here in Vegas. If I could find time between school and work I would love to help out. Even if I only have a 2wd!
