Step Into Being a Docent
As the City of San Luis Obispo increases its greenbelt area, our Natural San Luis docent program becomes an important part of efforts to educate the public about San Luis Obispo's natural heritage. We are currently scheduling hikes that will help you step into being a docent and leading leading nature hikes. For more information, talk to one of our docents at our docent led hikes on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Upcoming hikes can be found on our Event Calendar.
