Docent Training at the Arb
2024 Docent Training
by Helena Murray - Education Manager
Coming
this April, the Arboretum at Flagstaff will be hosting 3 Saturdays of
education for anyone interested in becoming a docent for the 2024
season!
Docents at
the Arboretum are vital volunteers who help us interact with the public,
sharing the amazing work that we do while increasing the understanding,
appreciation and conservation of plant and plant communities native to
the Colorado plateau by leading tours to the public throughout our
season.
Topics
covered through the course of classes include an overview of our
conservation projects, wildlife at the Arboretum, botany, the history of
the Arboretum, touring the gardens and the greenhouses and learning how
to give a tour as a docent.
Docent classes will be held on
Saturdays April 6th, 13th, and 20th from 10:00am-2:00pm with
approximately 30 minutes for lunch (please bring your own) and will
feature staff as well as current docent/volunteer speakers.
Attendance is
free to members or with the purchase of a membership. All docents of
the 2024 season who serve 18+ hours at the Arboretum will receive a free
renewal of their membership for 2025.
Please make sure to wear comfortable and weather appropriate clothing as we will be exploring the Arb grounds together!

Talk on the Columnar Cacti
From Susan Holiday at the Native Plant Society:
Allow me to introduce myself -- I’m the Communication Coordinator for the Natural History Institute, a non-profit in Prescott that hosts a wide variety of natural history talks, field experiences, a 9,000 specimen herbarium, and a nature art gallery. We are also the meeting place for the Prescott Native Plant Society and the Prescott Audubon Society.
All of our talks are live-streamed to our Youtube channel, so they can be attended remotely as well as in-person in Prescott. We have an upcoming talk that I think will be of interest to AZ Native Plant Society members, and I was wondering if you could share it with members of your chapter.
