Level 1 Leave No Trace Training
Capitol Reef Field Station
Participants in the Leave No Trace Level 1 Instructor Course develop the skills, ethics,
and teaching techniques needed to model and share low-impact outdoor practices. The
course blends classroom instruction with hands-on learning experiences in Capitol
Reef National Park. Throughout the program, each participant will practice teaching
one of the seven Leave No Trace principles in a small-group setting. Upon completion,
participants earn certification as a Level 1 Leave No Trace Instructor, qualifying
them to lead Leave No Trace Skills Courses and Workshops and to co-instruct Level
1 Instructor Courses within their communities. The course fee is $130 and includes
food, transportation from UVU, lodging at the Capitol Reef Field Station, and all
training fees. Certification is valid for two years.
