Attendance at one training workshop is required training for any new school field trip volunteers or volunteers who did not attend a training last year.  Returning volunteers are welcome to attend to refresh their knowledge. 

Volunteers will be trained for all three stations of the field trips - spotting scopes, nature hike, and activity center - and receive updated guidelines for safety and interaction with the students, teachers and general public who may be at the Rookery during a field trip. 

After the training, participants will do a "walk around" at the Rookery to experience the field trip path and address any additional questions from volunteers.

Meet at the Venice Audubon Center.  Dress for the weather, wear substantial shoes, bring water and insect repellent if needed.
