Thousands of people use the SHT each year. Some users may not be aware of good Leave No Trace techniques that will help the SHT be a sustainable trail well into the future.

In 2024, we’re hoping some of you will join us as Trailhead Ambassadors to help educate users in the best ways to keep the trail in great shape. Ambassadors will greet hikers at popular trailheads throughout the hiking season, and particularly on some of the busiest weekends of the year. Ambassadors will answer questions and provide information, but more importantly will be there to help users understand their impact on the trail and how Leave No Trace techniques will help keep the SHT in great shape. Shift lengths and dates are negotiable, although we will have some specific needs.

If you are interested in joining this exciting new program, we have a couple of training opportunities available to get you started. The class will be offered twice, once in Bloomington and once in Two Harbors. If you prefer to take an online class, please let us know by registering below. The online course has not been scheduled. We’ll be in touch with those who request an online training with more information.
