Durango Nature Studies announces its spring Volunteer Naturalist Training for its school environmental education programs:

Become a fully qualified volunteer naturalist, ready to lead science-based, hikes for kids in K, 1st, 3rd, and 8th. Volunteers will receive a detailed manual as part of the training. School programs will take place at the Durango Nature Center.

No prior experience is necessary, just a love of nature and kids! Becoming a volunteer naturalist is a great way to spend time outdoors, learn the natural history of the area, meet like-minded people, and gain experience teaching. Ask about out Fort Lewis College internship credit.

Please call 769- 9377 to register, or email Andrea McAlpin at andrea@durangonaturestudies.org. Space is limited. To learn more visit http://durangonaturestudies.org/volunteer/become-a-volunteer-naturalist/spring-training/
