Elkhorn Slough Reserve Seeks Docents

Looking to share your enthusiasm for wildlife with others to promote conservation? Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is seeking new volunteer docents to engage the public and help fellow explorers discover the nature and beauty of the slough.

We will be hosting a series of Docent Trainings each Saturday from January 25, 2020 through February 22, 2020. The course is free, but registration is required.

Over the course of the five sessions, you will learn about different aspects of the Elkhorn Slough, from its wildlife and plants to its history of human impacts and land use. Each day will involve hands-on activities and talks, as well as outdoor excursions. Educators from the Reserve and partnering organizations will lead interactive learning activities to help new docents build their knowledge and develop the confidence to lead public tours of the Reserve trails.

To register, visit www.elkhornslough.org/events/reserve-docent-training or contact Reserve Volunteer Coordinator Ariel Hunter, ariel.hunter@wildlife.ca.gov, (831) 728-2822, for more information.
