Bring Out the Butterflies

Want to spend some time enjoying the butterflies in our Butterfly House, while teaching others about these important animals?

Butterfly House Docents help monitor the butterfly house, greet the public, provide casual interpretation, clarify rules and answer questions. Docents commit to volunteer approximately three hours per month or more if desired, during butterfly season (May through October). Docents staff the House on Saturdays from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM or from 12:30 PM – 3:00 PM. Weekday docents are occasionally needed.

Docents must complete the Butterfly Docent training workshop, offered at the Environmental Nature Center or posses similar training or experience. Training includes an overview of frequently asked questions, a description of the host and nectar plants in the ENC’s butterfly house, and the butterflies likely to be found in the House over the coming season.

This Saturday, April 7th, the ENC is hosting a butterfly house docent training session at 10 to 12 AM. Docents will view a 1.5 hour presentation, and tour the ENC’s butterfly house.

Call Lori at 949-645-8489 ext 103 or email Lori to RSVP or inquire for information about training.

See you there!
