Each volunteer is given a walk guide which guides the walk leader in the activities to do with the students as well as suggests questions to ask the children during the walk.
Attend our 2 hour hands-on exploration every September to learn how to model scientific inquiry and learn about the program.
Short training videos explain objectives of individual walks, highlight areas to focus on and model how to be an effective nature guide.
