Docent Training Orientation
The Arboretum at Flagstaff
Are you interested in sharing your love of the local landscape with school children and visitors to our community? The Arboretum at Flagstaff's docent training program is a great way to learn about gardening with native species, plant/animal relationships in our natural habitat, and current environmental issues. Docent trainees will meet on Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m.(February 5-April 29, 2008), to learn from Arboretum staff and local experts. Topics covered include the history and mission of The Arboretum, touring techniques, basic botany, rare plant research, forest health, ethnobotany and much more. There is a fee of $75 for the program.
There will be an informal orientation on Tuesday, January 29 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. for prospective docent trainees. Please call Rachel Edelstein at (928) 774-1442, ext. 110, by Friday January 25 to sign up for the orientation or for more information. A full schedule of the 2008 docent training program is available on the web site thearb.org.
