Trail guide workshop is April 4-5
Beaver Lake Nature Center’s Naturalists will be holding a training workshop for volunteers interested in learning how to become a trail guide for school groups on the Hemlock Hollow/Bog Trail. This training workshop will give participants everything they need to know about guiding and sharing their love of nature with others. There will be an opportunity to shadow experienced guides as well as sign up to guide classes in the future. Pre-registration is required. The workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, April 4.
The following day, experienced trail guides and those who attend the training workshop are encouraged to attend the orientation and luncheon. This session will focus on interpretive techniques, natural history, and scheduling with school groups. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious lunch, courtesy of the Friends of Beaver Lake. Pre-registration is required. The orientation/luncheon will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, April 5.
