Volunteer Naturalist Training Program
New Hope, PA – Have you always wanted to learn more about the biology and ecology of native plants, how animals use plants for food and shelter or which native plants make good garden plants? Are you the sort of person who has a desire to share what you know with others? If so, Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve’s Volunteer Naturalist Training Program may be for you.
This multi-session training program will prepare you to lead tours for the public at the Preserve and give you opportunities to share your new-found knowledge at special seasonal events. You’ll also get to meet and interact with a community of like-minded people.
The Volunteer Naturalist Training Orientation is scheduled for Saturday, October 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Training sessions are free and held at the Preserve Visitor Center. Application for the training and pre-registration for each program is required. For more information and to apply, contact Amy Hoffmann, Education Coordinator, (215) 862-2924 or hoffmann@bhwp.org.
