Tread Lightly - Master Trainer Courses
Course Description: Tread Lightly!®’s Master Tread Trainer™ course is a two-day course designed to provide an in depth look at outdoor ethics focusing on motorized and mechanized recreation on both land and water. Participation in the course qualifies individuals to present the Tread Lightly! message consistently to others in their state or region.
