We are pleased to offer this BAT training session led by Luke Kelly, TU staff member, on Saturday June 14th at 8:00AM until approximately 2:00PM.

The first part of the training is prework to be completed virtually by you before the in-person training, as described aboveYou must complete this prework before the field training on June 14th in order to fully understand the in-person training.  Please come prepared by watching the two videos above. 

We will meet for field training at 8AM on June 14th, 2025 in the Red Town Trailhead parking lot in Newcastle, Washington. This is located just east of Newcastle Golf Club on Lakemont Blvd (aka Newcastle Golf Club Road), here:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/UHBSRRGMFkSmy4Pn8
