Summary of: Daniels, M., & Marion, J. (2005). Communicating Leave No Trace Ethics and Practices: Efficacy of Two-Day Trainer Courses. Journal of Park and Recreation Administration, 23(4), 1-19.

Study:
“This study examined the change in knowledge, ethics, and behavior of LNT Trainer course participants” that were trained to increase their knowledge, ethics, and behavior of low-impact skills and ethics for nonmotorized outdoor recreationists. (2)
Findings:
  • The study demonstrated that a 2-day LNT Trainer course significantly improved participants’ knowledge, ethics, and behavior regarding low impact recreational practices.
  • The study concluded ‘that training courses similar to this one can be an effective tool for assisting managers of protected natural areas in achieving their objectives for sustaining recreational visitation while avoiding or minimizing associated resource impacts.’ (17)
  • 94% of course participants taught others what they had learned.
