Regional Trainer Meet-Up – Tollymore National Outdoor Centre, Co. Down

May 11, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

The Regional Trainer Meet-up is a chance for trainers to come together and meet face to face for a well-paced day at Tollymore National Outdoor Centre, Co Down, filled with engaging discussions, lively practical sessions, and networking opportunities. The meet-up will mostly take place outdoors and will encourage trainers to share a skill and/or activity with one another that helps us all in our outdoor education. This will also provide a forum to discuss what we can do at Leave No Trace to help you as a trainer.

We’ll also be able to provide any Leave No Trace materials you may need as a trainer. If you do need any resources, please let us know by no later than April 26th.
