Volunteer Naturalist Teaching
A Bluff Lake Volunteer Naturalist leads a group of elementary-school students along Sand Creek.

Education Volunteers lead groups of students (K-6th grade) at our nature center through hands-on exploration in topics including wetland ecology, habitat diversity, urban wildlife, food chains, and life cycles.

Through their enthusiasm and guidance, volunteer educators make it possible for each student to experience a meaningful discovery at Bluff Lake. Volunteers are asked to sign-up for a minimum of one morning per month 9:00am-12:30pm (Tues-Fri) for our field trip programs.

No experience is necessary, although teaching and/or outdoor experience preferred. Applicants who can speak both Spanish and English are especially encouraged. Training will be provided.
