Ted Beblowski, Nassau, NY
I grew up on a dead end street in a city. There were woods behind my house. I remember going there before I was in grade school and looking at the tall trees, their canopy kept out the sunlight so that there was little vegetation on the ground. The city came and bulldozed the trees to clear the area for a garbage dump. I now had to go farther to find trees like that.
I am into Leave No Trace because of those trees.
I try to be at as many events to promote the principles of Leave No Trace. You can find me at the State Fair, programs with the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Earth Day, Winterfest and other events. I am setting up a program at the New York State Museum in Albany. I will travel anywhere in the state to do training. I work with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, The Boys and Girls Clubs, all summer camps, and have been to surrounding States like Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New Mexico to do training and programs. I do programs in schools and even use the trainer course for home schooling to fulfill the requirements for the ecology and conservation element of Social Studies.
I would like to see more Master Educators and Trainers to be active in the State.

Who: Anyone interested in learning about Leave No Trace and sharing the message with others. Participants must have proper camping clothing and gear.
Description: The Adirondack Mountain Club is offering a two-day, low-mileage backpacking format course designed to enhance your understanding of Leave No Trace practices and ethics and to increase your level of expertise and confidence in teaching Leave No Trace skills. This course is designed for outdoor educators, guides, youth leaders, agency employees and other outdoor professionals who value the land and want to teach others how to protect it. Through focused activities, hands-on field experience and both formal and informal discussions, you will be introduced to concepts and methods that will advance your knowledge of Leave No Trace issues, expand your repertoire of low-impact skills and increase your effectiveness in teaching these important skills to others. Instruction will concentrate on the incorporation of low impact techniques in camping and backpacking settings, but we will not be teaching basic camping skills. Participants should have camping or other outdoor experience prior to enrolling in this course. Upon successful completion of the Leave No Trace Trainer course each participant will become a Leave No Trace Trainer from the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics in Boulder, CO.
