Heather Day, Missoula, Montana State Advocate
Hi everyone, I'm Heather, your new Montana State Advocate. I'm a native of Maine, and got my start with Leave No Trace working with the Appalachian Mountain Club in the White Mountains of New Hampshire after college—and those mountains and forests will always hold a special place in my heart!
Currently, I am slated to finish my MS in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana in May of 2011 with a focus in Wilderness stewardship partnerships. I am the Conservation Awards Associate at the National Forest Foundation in Missoula, Montana, and have served on the Board of Directors of the National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance since its inception in 2010.
I am most at home with a pack on my back, but will jump on any chance I can get to canoe, mountain bike, and rock climb, too. I look forward to working with you all in the beautiful state of Montana.

Description: Leave NoTrace Partners, Selkirk Outdoor Leadership & Education (SOLE), is offering this two-day intensive technical skill workshop. This backpacking format course is 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 to others. Through focused activities, hands-on practical 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 practices and increase your effectiveness in teaching these important skills to others.
Participants should be experienced campers or backpackers. Instruction will concentrate on the incorporation of low impact techniques in camping and backpacking settings. This is a fun course where all participants have a part in demonstrating the choices that can be made to minimize our impact on the land and our resources. On completion of this course, participants will be registered as Leave No Trace Trainers with the national Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics and will receive a certificate of course completion.
