Leave No Trace Stock Users Education Program<\/h2>\n

Leave No Trace (LNT) was created by the US Forest Service in the 1960\u2019s, when recreation on public lands increased significantly, with a corresponding level of damage to those wild places.\u00a0 Then in the early 1990s, the Forest Service worked with the National Outdoor Leadership School to develop hands-on, science-based minimum impact education for non-motorized recreational activities.To educate, encourage, and solicit active participation in the wise and sustaining use of the back country resources by horsemen and the general public.<\/p>\n

This statement is the basis for the BCHA LNT Stock Users Education Program. The BCHA Board has directed that we become the primary trainer of stock users in LNT principles and practices nationally. To that end the LNT Master\u2019s Education Program was established. The program is a partnership between BCHA, State and Affiliate Members, the US Forest Service and LNT Inc.<\/p>\n

BCHA coordinates, manages and monitors the program in cooperation with State and Affiliate memberships. Qualified BCH members are selected to become LNT Master Educators.<\/p>\n

The students are taught and teach the LNT Principles and Practices outlined in the LNT Master Educators Handbook. Upon completion of the course the Master Educators teach Train the Trainer courses in cooperation with the local BCH units. The LNT Trainers then put on LNT Awareness Workshops.\u00a0Twenty of our state and affiliate memberships have already had a member attend the Master Educator Course.<\/p>\n
