Wilderness Education
Many educators look to wide-open spaces as
the backdrop for significant learning experiences. By combining
adventure, risk, and the environment, youth learn responsibility,
cooperation skills, group communication strategies, and
empowerment. Wilderness education programs often include
a strong values component, helping to instill a deep respect
for wildland communities. "Leave No Trace" is
a message and a program that helps youth groups explore
and enjoy the wilderness while reducing their impact on
the system. The Leopold Education Project and the National
Outdoor Leadership School offer curriculum and opportunities
to gain skills in wilderness education.
