Docent Training Begins in January—Come Join an Elite Group of Amigos
Beginning January 11, 2012 a 6-week docent training program will be held from 7:00-9:00 pm Wednesday nights at a new location: the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy facility, 21900 Pacific Coast Highway at Newland St. This training will also include 2 weekend field trips at Bolsa Chica. The topics and presenters will be: 1/11 Introduction and Bolsa Chica History with Helen Higgins; 1/18 Ecology and Natural History with Vic Leipzig; 1/25 Birds and Endangered Species with Barbara Sentovich; 2/1 Restoration and Recent History with Dave Carlberg; 2/8 Native American Indians with Louann Murray and Fish and Marine Invertebrates with Kelly O’Reilly; and 2/15 Review, Docent Tours and Tips and Social with Jennifer Robins and Margaret Carlberg. Patty Overley will be the facilitator this year. The $50 class materials fee includes a docent training manual and CD filled with a wealth of background information, a pictorial binder to use during tours and a docent badge and other reference materials. Current docents are invited to attend any sessions (no fee) to refresh their information, but please notify Laura at: info@amigosdebolsachica.org so enough chairs are available. To register for the program, or for more information, contact the Amigos office at 714-840-1575. Back to the Tern Tide/News Index |
