The City of San Marcos' Parks and Recreation Department is seeking new volunteers to participate in the Nature Center Docent program at the Jack's Pond Nature Center!
If you are at least 18 years old, interested in nature, want to help educate visitors about local habitat (community) and want to volunteer, consider becoming a docent at Jack's Pond Nature Center.
Jack's Pond Nature Center is a renovated barn near Cal State San Marcos where guests get to explore 10 themed rooms that offer activities and information about local flora and fauna. As a Nature Center Docent, you would be responsible (at least one day a month) to oversee the nature center Sundays from 10am- 1pm and other duties as assigned. You would get to do nature-inspired activities and learn about San Marcos Nature along with our visitors.
