Docents lead our environmental education programs for the more than 8,000 school-age children that visit our location on school field trips each year. Click here to view the Docent Training Schedule.
Placer
Nature Center's Docent Training Class is filled with enriching lessons
on natural and cultural history. Becoming a docent is easy and fun and
is a great way to learn about our
foothill environment while sharing it with our children and community.
Teen Volunteers
Placer Nature Center is looking for teens to help facilitate their Footsteps to Summer Fun nature day camp program. Teens that would like to earn community service hours, gain experience working with children, enrich leadership skills, and have fun while learning at the same time should consider helping out at Placer Nature Center this summer.

you enjoy sharing creative ideas and brainstorming with others? Placer
Nature Center has event, program, advocacy, media, and education commit-tees

Trail Building & Maintenance
Thousands

is a priority.
Placer Nature Center has two trails that need monitoring. One is a quarter-mile
handicap accessible trail; the other is a mile long trail that weaves
through our natural area.
