    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!
