Love Nature?
Become a CDRI Trail Guide - at our - Interpretive Guide Training Day (Dates to be announced) |
|
Throughout the year, CDRI offers its Certified Interpretive Guide Training Programs. One of the prgrams will qualify you to be a trail guide for Modesta Canyon Trail and Clayton's Overlook Trail, while another training program will qualify you as a guide for the Botanical Gardens and Cactus Greenhouse.
As either a trail guide or a garden guide, you will lead groups of 10-15, either school-aged students or adults. Whether it's a guided hike or a garden tour, these events are scheduled a minimum of two weeks ahead of the desired date, and guides choose whether they are available on a specified date. CDRI will provide lunch for guides who work through the Noon hour, and we always have a large homemade cookie from Stone Village Market as a thank-you for each of our hiking guides.
Upon working 30 volunteer hours during the calendar year, you earn the distinction of being recognized as a Vital Volunteer. In addition to recognition of attaining the status of Vital Volunteer, you will receive a special token of our appreciation from the CDRI Gift Shop. These have ranged from denim shirts with our embroidered logo, to Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center t-shirts, to embroidered caps.
