Lew Shelley, Charlestown, NH State Advocate
I am a life-long resident of NH and live in the hills of Walpole. My work takes me to some of the most beautiful places in the U.S., but I am constantly reminded of all that NH has to offer. It is important that we educate others how to take responsibility for their actions and the impact we all create. Along with other educators and trainers, and in my work with SCA (Student Conservation Association), I hope to make LNT a key component of outdoor programs in NH and beyond. Through improved communication and working with LNT partners, I hope to develop more Master and Trainer courses through new and existing partnerships with land management partners and other organizations. All of us can do more in continuing the mission of Leave No Trace. I am here to assist you with any ideas or needs related to our work.
