The Leelanau Conservancy annually recruits and trains local nature enthusiasts for a new class of Docents each spring, who will learn to lead hikes in our natural areas.
The volunteer docent program is a critical part of the Conservancy’s outreach efforts, and being a docent involves a significant commitment. New docents commit to 30 hours of initial training which begins with 4 required trainings in April, as well as Natural Area training with our Stewardship Team, shadowing hikes with an experienced docent, first aid, and interpretation trainings are just some of the topics new docents learn about.
