Leelanau Conservancy Docent Program Seeks a New Group of Docents-in-Training
Do you enjoy a good tromp through the woods? Do you find yourself craning your neck to discover which birds might be making such a noise? Does soaking in the air, the water, the light, and the hilly terrain of your surroundings make you glad?
If you’re enthusiastic about the loveliness of Leelanau, if you enjoy conversations with all sorts of people, and if you like working as a member of a team, then becoming a Leelanau Conservancy docent might be the volunteer role for you!
Leelanau Conservancy Docents are trained volunteers who initiate interactive learning experiences with visitors in the Conservancy’s many natural areas and preserves. A new training class will be forming soon in preparation for the upcoming hike season.
The docent application period runs through May 31, 2026, with group interviews taking place in June, and trainings in July. For more detailed information regarding program requirements, training schedule, and to obtain an application, please contact Lindy Kellogg, Volunteer Manager at the Leelanau Conservancy: lkellogg@leelanauconservancy.org.
