Docent Training

Docent training is a program designed to

educate people about the Arboretum, in

order for them to gain the knowledge

necessary to lead a tour of the Davis

Arboretum as a volunteer.  This program is

open to the public and a great experience for someone, even if they are not interested in leading tours.  Docent training occurs every other Tuesday; dates and topics are listed below.  The class starts at 10AM, meeting at the Pavilion, and lasts approximately one hour. Docent training is a fun learning experience and a great opportunity to get involved with your community and people who share similar interests.
