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!
