Be a part of the Butterfly Experience at Brookside Gardens! We are seeking volunteer Docents to be essential stewards of the environment. You will help visitors learn about the ecological importance of butterflies and teach them what they can do in their own backyards to help sustain these extraordinary and critical creatures.
The Butterfly Experience will be open seven days a week from April 10 to September 21. Shifts are available every day from 10am-1pm and 1-4pm.
Apply today and we will schedule a phone interview with you to discuss more. You will be able to sign up for shifts after the initial interview. Minimum of 10 shifts required.
