This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to implement predetermined minimal environmental impact practices while delivering outdoor recreation activities. Environmental impact includes that to the natural environment and to Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage and cultural sites.

References to land managers and land management are used for simplicity and can equally apply to other environments such as marine locations.

This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.

It applies to all delivery personnel working at any level including support staff and assistants, and leaders including guides and instructors.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
