Webinar Series

Choose Your Own Adventure

​​The Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center is hosting a 4-part webinar series free and open to all wilderness managers, practitioners, and partners.​ The series can be attended in-full or participants can select only the sessions they are interested in. We strongly recommend taking both webinar sessions 2 and 3 if you want a fuller understanding of the MRA and MRAF. Each webinar will have opportunities to interact with experts and peers. Following the webinar, participants will be invited to a virtual space to allow for more interaction/discussion, community, and follow-up support.
