For anyone concerned about nature and wildlife, the workshop will be held at 6:30 p.m. March 24 at the William G. Long Senior Center Activity Expansion, 223 Arnold Mill Road, Woodstock.

The cost is $5.

With pioneering science, hands-on training and simple guidelines, Leave No Trace helps participants explore the outdoors sustainably every time they go outside, according to a county statement.

The seven principles of Leave No Trace will be introduced along with low-impact recreational techniques and how participants can be stewards of the environment.

Participants will be awarded a certificate upon workshop completion.
