Become a Junior Explorer Docent for Friends of Edgewood and help children of all ages experience the wonder of nature. No special expertise or botanical knowledge is required to be a Junior Explorer Docent. Only a passion for nature and a love of kids.
You can choose the age group you relate to best. You can choose the field trips and the dates that fit your schedule. It is easy to prepare to be a Junior Explorer Docent:
Join other docents on a hike to share information and interpretive techniques
Attend enrichment programs and special training workshops
Review our "how to" resources
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, we’d love to hear from you. If you're unsure whether it's the right fit, contact us to tag along during a Junior Explorer walk.

Mission Statement
The Friends of Edgewood Natural Preserve exists to protect and celebrate Edgewood as a unique treasure by promoting exemplary stewardship, and by reaching out with informative public programs.
Description
Established in 1993 as a direct consequence of Edgewood’s designation as a Natural Preserve, the Friends of Edgewood is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 public benefit corporation funded 100% by membership dues and donations and sales proceeds. Our federal EIN (Employer Identification Number) is 94-3188191. Our key programs are year-round docent-led interpretive walks, including Junior Explorer walks for young people, strong support of habitat restoration at Edgewood led by the California Native Plant Society, and responsibility for operating the Education Center. We’ve also adopted a stretch of I-280 alongside Edgewood where we perform monthly trash clean-up for Caltrans.
