	National Outdoor Leadership School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Outdoor Leadership School, more commonly known as NOLS, is a non-profit school in the United States dedicated to teaching about nature, skills, risk management and leadership on month-long expeditions in a wilderness setting.
		However, during the 1970s, NOLS grew enormously and its attitude shifted from military to ecological; conservation and preservation began to rank with leadership training in terms of focus.
		The NOLS mission is to be the leading source and teacher of wilderness skills and leadership that serve people and the environment.

	We need your help! - American Camping Association
		The University of Utah, in conjunction with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), is conducting a study to develop a risk management taxonomy for outdoor expeditionary programs (see www.health.utah.edu/prt/rmstudy).
		If you are familiar with your organization’s risk management strategies and if your organization is an outdoor expeditionary program (defined, for this study, as those trip programs involving two or more nights in the field), we invite your participation in completing an on-line survey.
		This taxonomy, or classification system, would be useful given that much of the industry operates in relative isolation from each other, so we really don’t know how various types of organizations manage risk.
