EAGLE CREEK WILDERNESS  ACADEMY

Your greatest advantage in any environment is not necessarily the gear you carry, but the mindset you bring and the skills you have refined from preparation.

Start training

LEAVE NO TRACE
LEVEL 1 INSTRUCTOR

Practice the duty of wilderness stewardship through immersive, scenario-based training. This is not a PowerPoint presentation or an online module. It is a field-instruction course conducted entirely in the wilderness, where you will master Leave No Trace guidelines through direct practice in the natural environment.

No PowerPoint. No Classrooms.

This is not a digital seminar or a passive lecture. Our Instructor Level 1 course is an immersive, high-engagement masterclass conducted entirely within the wilderness environments it aims to protect. You transition from a user of the land to a steward of its future through interactive, scenario-based drills that replace slides with soil and screens with fieldcraft.

By living the principles and teaching them to your peers in the field, you develop practical expertise that transitions seamlessly into your own wilderness instruction. This is active learning for those who lead where others follow.
