LEAVE NO TRACE MASTER EDUCATOR'S (STOCK) CLASS MAY 2009

 

BCHNG President Melinda Towe and I were privileged to attend the LEAVE NO TRACE Master Educator's (Stock) Class sponsored by BCH of America at Ninemile Remount Station in Huson, Montana recently.  Our class consisted of BCH Members and, now our friends, from Alaska, Missouri, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Colorado, North Carolina and fellow Georgians. 
Our teachers and mentors were Bob Hoverson, Smoke Elser, Bob Wagner and Colleen Sloan. 

We spent 5 days in class, three of which were up on the mountain above the Nine Mile Wildlands Training Center, where we camped and used wall tents for classrooms. We had demonstrations outside whenever it wasn't raining, sleeting or snowing (which happened every single day)! 

We learned many things and it has given us insight and changed our ideas and attitudes about our resources and what is the proper way to take care of them for future generations.

If you are interested in signing up for one of our Leave No Trace "Train the Trainers" weekend classes, please feel free to contact either Melinda Towe or Susan Shedd
