NHC offers ‘trail ambassador’ training

Join the Nantahala Hiking club this weekend for a training session to educate people how to become “trail ambassadors.”
The session will be held with the upcoming surge of northbound Appalachian Trail hikers that will hit Western North Carolina in the next couple of months.
Trainees will come away being better equipped to share trail conditions and weather updates, offer wildlife interaction updates, speak about “Leave No Trace” principle and encourage hikers.
The training will be held from 2-4 p.m. on Feb. 23 at Lazy Hiker Brewing Company in Franklin.
