Spend some time enjoying the butterflies in our Butterfly House while teaching others about these important animals. This 2-hour training session will prepare you to be a butterfly docent at the ENC. 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 September). Docents staff the House on Saturdays and Sundays from 10AM - 12:30PM or from 12:30 - 3PM. Weekday docents are also needed.
If you'd like to volunteer as a Butterfly House Docent, please sign up for training, here:

Mission Statement
To provide quality education through hands-on experience with nature.
Description
The Environmental Nature Center, known simply to thousands of visiting students through the years as "The ENC", is 3.5 acres of what was once a litter-filled gully behind Newport Harbor High School. Today, it is a fascinating combination of 14 California native plant communities (ranging from a desert, to an oak woodland, to a fresh water marsh, to a redwood forest), wildlife habitats and walking trails. For over 30 years, the ENC has been shaped and caressed into a landscape for learning, a sanctuary from life's pressures and a place of preservation and instruction. Serving over 13,000 students and thousands of visitors annually, the ENC is recognized as a leader in education providing opportunities for increasing our community's knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
