•  Programs and resources of the Leave No Trace organization and ways to get more involved. 
•  Area/activity-specific content (e.g., mountain biking, canoeing, deserts, coastal, etc.) can be included upon request. 
• We will include a service project of cleaning up trash on the Mickelson Trail behind the Trailhouse during class
