Volunteer Docent

Calling all nature lovers! We are looking to grow our team of Arboretum Docents. Docents are volunteers ages 21+ with weekday availability who are specially trained to engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds in active explorations of our trails and Discovery Room. We are currently recruiting individuals for our upcoming docent trainings to prepare for fall programs! Concerned that you know very little about natural history, native flora/fauna, or the Arboretum in general? Not to worry! Docent training is comprehensive and includes extensive content-based classes as well as training on effective touring techniques. If you'd like to learn more, join us for our upcoming Docent Recruitment Open House & Breakfast on Wednesday, August 27 from 10:00-11:30 am.
