Large Groups
Are you bringing a large group of people (15 or more) to the Nature Center? There is so much for our volunteer docents to share with our visitors. It is helpful for the volunteer docents to know when large groups will be visiting, so they can be available to answer questions and point out exhibits and activities that may interest your group.
