Description
Context The Headwaters Institute is a non-profit organization with a mission "to provide education that inspires individuals and communities to care for and connect with their watershed" (Hicks, 2006). The Headwaters Institute's main purpose is to offer seminars throughout the country. These seminars are focused on providing river raft guides with education and support so that they may act not only as guides, but also as environmental interpreters. Since 1996, Headwaters Institute seminars have been expanded to train not only river guides, but also sea kayaking and fly-fishing guides as well as other individuals who may have the opportunity to play the role of environmental interpreters to the public. "In putting [these guides] through ... educational seminars, the institute hopes to inspire participants to be better interpreters of rivers' natural and cultural history, which will give their clients a better appreciation of the waterways they float" (Reimers, 1999). However, little information has been obtained regarding how effective the Headwaters Institute seminars have been in achieving this goal.
