Spanish term or phrase: guía-interpretador de los itinerarios
Además de publicar folletos divulgativos de los itinerarios, se han organizado dos cursos de formación de informadores turísticos (2000) y de ***guías-interpretadores de los itinerarios*** (2001), con una veintena de participantes locales en cada uno. Los itinerarios han servido ya de espacio para la ejecución de diversas actuaciones demostrativas de gestión forestal sostenible (claras) y de recuperación de técnicas tradicionales (saca de madera con caballo).

I am not sure how best to describe this in English. Would 'trail leader' or 'trail guide' be correct? I'd be very grateful for any ideas!

Explanation:
In the Adirondacks, one of the largest parks in the whole US, they have interpretive centers for visitors. There are also people who can be guides for fishing for example. So I think interpretive guide is best. Not a trail guide. One doesn't need a guide to walk a trail. Guides go with people in the wilderness where they might get lost where there is no trail necessarily. The interpretive is the language of ecotourism, I am pretty sure

If this is in the forest or in wilderness areas or say int he great barrier reef, it\'s NOT a tour guide.

Thank you all for your help here. I would like to divide the points up, but I can't! I think there are several possible ways of translating this, but the points go to Jane for her idea of using 'interpretive'. I don't think they are actual interpreters (lingustic ones) in my context, they simply interpret the surroundings and explain all about the plants, animals, geology etc. Anyway, thank you all again!

If it is an interpreter in the sense of a translator, then I would simply call them bilingual guides (this was my original thought actually)

Interpreter tour-guides


Explanation:
"The moment I am impressed most is when I take leave of my customers at an airport. When I see them full of emotions and their eyes full of tears, I realize that they are really happy with the job that I have done. It makes me forget all the trouble I've had from the trip with them. As I am easily moved to tears, I feel myself compelled to shed tears when I see them cry. If you collect all the tears I cried at airports, it might fill a whole glass. A job that can give you such a great impression as could make you shed a glass of tears. That is the guide-interpreter's job. K.Y., Kyoto Pref., English/Spanish

trail guide-interpreter


Explanation:
given that it's hyphenated in the Spanish, why not do the same in English? They are both guides and interpret what you are seeing along the route at the same time (or at least that's how I see it from your paragraph, they inform people about sustainable forest management, and this has nothing to do with "adventure", unless I'm up the creek without a paddle).
And if you don't like trail, you could use route or itinerary, as already suggested.
