This is a virtual online Zoom seminar. We will log in early and encourage you to do the same so that we can start promptly at 7:00 pm. Our seminar will meet on February 5, 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

The deadline for completing the quiz is February 11. I will close the seminar no later than February 12.
You will be emailed a copy of the Foothills Urban Walk Leader Pedestrian Safety Reference Guide about a week in advance of the seminar. Please review this resource as it lays the foundation for the pedestrian situations and scenarios that we cover. We recommend printing it out and having it at the seminar.

This seminar is for leaders who are interested in leading Urban Walks and earning the Pedestrian Safety Skills Badge, and/or an Urban Walk Leader Badge and individuals interested in learning about pedestrian safety and/or earning the Pedestrian Safety Skills Badge. The session will focus on preparing leaders to lead Urban Walks and Urban Hikes that anticipate and manage risks and opportunities unique to leading activities in the front county, urban and suburban settings.
A portion of the session is dedicated to reviewing, real-life, pedestrian safety scenarios typical of those that Urban Walk Leaders may encounter. A collection of reference materials for use by prospective Urban Walk leaders will be provided by email. Participants are encouraged to review these documents before the seminar.
The Pedestrian Safety Skills Badge requires attendance at this seminar and a passing score of 80% or better on a short quiz administered after the seminar.
