Current Volunteer Opportunities
|
Volunteer Naturalist
Volunteer naturalists are trained individuals who assist
Elachee in teaching visiting school children about nature. Most walk on
the trails with a small group of 10-15, pointing out natural features,
identifying plant and animal life, and reinforcing concepts learned during
classroom sessions. The low-key and informative training teaches you the
basics of field interpretation, identification of wildflowers, shrubs and
trees, and how to sample aquatic life. This is a great way to learn about
nature, get some exercise in a beautiful setting, and help children learn
more about nature. See the Calendar of
Events for training opportunities.
