The Science Behind Leave No Trace
Leave No Trace is grounded in science and research and has been since its origins in the field of recreation ecology. This has evolved over the years as recreation-related impacts and associated monitoring has incorporated human dimensions of natural resources, striving to understand how and why humans cause impacts and, ultimately, how to influence behaviors to decrease recreational-related impacts. Leave No Trace continues to inform educational programming through research, and this talk highlights recent studies and associated implications for educating outdoor recreationists.
Understanding Stress & Using Nature for Stress Management
Discover how to distinguish between toxic stress and resilience-building stress. The session will also explore effective strategies to manage stress using the outdoors and local surroundings. Participants will walk-away with further understanding of lifelong stress and strategies to transform stress to enhance well-being through practical, nature-based solutions.
2024 Inclusive Summit
AORE is hosted a one-day summit to provide attendees with a wider recognition of exclusionary practices within outdoor recreation and education and to help them gain better understanding of how they can actively work to make change as leaders in the industry.
