The Leave No Trace e-tour, sponsored by the Coleman Company and The North Face, brings hands-on Leave No Trace demonstrations, interactive activities and general Leave No Trace education to schools, camps and youth-serving organizations from May through August. The team also travels to select retailers specializing in Coleman outdoor products in order to promote Leave No Trace information to kids and families. The e-tour provides basic Leave No Trace education programs that inspire youth to get outside while promoting responsible enjoyment of the outdoors.

The e-tour provides hands-on educational workshops and information. Each stop is unique, from a half-hour workshop to a full-day booth display. These programs are designed to introduce kids to the outdoors and peak their interest in outdoor recreation and stewardship.
Mark and Tara met on the shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe, dancing to a local band one starry summer night. They both worked for the Forest Service; encouraging responsible recreation and stewardship of our public lands. Mark feels blessed to work teaching outdoor ethics as a naturalist, interpreter, children's ski instructor, and backcountry wilderness ranger. Tara specializes in outreach, conservation education, interpretation and outdoor recreation. She feels fortunate to have also spent many days in the field restoring ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada. They believe in the power of intention, living their lives through direct experience, while continually seeking new and exciting opportunities to learn and teach. With a commitment to ensuring a sustainable future, they share a passion for inspiring meaningful connections to the environment and getting youth outside. Together they enjoy backpacking, snowsports, mountain biking, stand-up paddleboarding, live music, and game nights. Their most relished sojourn is living out of a tent, having logged thousands of miles in the pursuit of happiness visiting the cherished places and open spaces our gorgeous country has to offer. Tara and Mark are energized for their next adventure, life on the road as your 2011 e-tour team!
The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics is excited to send off the first-ever Leave No Trace Colorado Tour on August 29th. The Colorado Tour program will reach a diverse group of young people to encourage outdoor recreation and, most importantly, teach them how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly. Our Colorado Tour Team, Barrett Kennedy and Peggy Reily are back for their second year with Leave No Trace. In 2010 Barrett and Peggy spent 4 months on the road as the e-tour team traveling through 21 states conducting over 50 workshops to more than 15,000 individuals. Over the next several weeks the Colorado Tour will run over 30 educational events.
