 A program/educational ambassador is an individual who can offer a useful service to TART users and members. There are many possibilities limited only by our imaginations. Several examples could include:
A water resources expert who can lead a walk to discuss the transformation of Boardman Lake.
A birder who can identify birds on the Vasa Trail
A botanist who can lead a hike on the Leelanau Trail to view wildflowers
A trained professional could offer a trail etiquette seminar or bike safety & repair clinic
A trail user who wants to start a running club, ski club, walking club or cycling program (etc.) on the trails
