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.
Quinn and Frank met in the less than rugged Nation's Capital through mutual friends knowing that they were kindred outdoor spirits in the urban DC jungle. Their friends identified that each had constant ramblings about canoeing, frequently advocated for the need for open spaces, and exhibited similar dance moves. The duo spent their time there escaping on the weekends to adventure throughout the Appalachians. Upon returning each Monday, Quinn taught Environmental Science and Special Education in a NE DC high school while Frank worked for the Department of Justice. The two became a team over many pots of coffee and extensive conversation on environmental ethics, policy, and their personal conservation ethos. Quinn immersed herself in the outdoors while living and studying in the Adirondacks Park in New York in college, and Frank draws his environmental focus from leading trail crews through a collaborative effort between the Boy Scouts and the Forest Service in the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. Frank and Quinn became Leave No Trace Master Educators in 2012. They're excited to be the 2012 Leave No Trace e-tour, becoming a part of environmental education in different areas around the country and telling the story of Leave No Trace.
The 2012 e-tour team will be traveling from February until late November. To learn more and see their schedule, please view their calendar ( + )
