Do you love Lake Tahoe and have an interest in learning more about the lake? Do you enjoy science, learning new information, and sharing your knowledge?

Residents who would like to help people learn about the region’s environmental assets and challenges are needed to serve as volunteer docents at the UC Davis Eriksson Education Center. The education center is located at the Tahoe City Field Station, commonly referred to as the Historic Fish Hatchery, just east of downtown Tahoe City at the corner of Lake Forest Road and Highway 28.

Visitors to the center include school groups from the greater Lake Tahoe-Truckee region as well as area residents and basin visitors.

One three-hour training course and a copy of the UC Davis Docent Training Manual will provide docents all the information they will need to discuss the historic hatchery site, fish of Lake Tahoe, local environmental issues and scientific research in the region. No prior experience is necessary and all are welcome.

The docent training class will be at the UC Davis Field Station on June 26 and June 30 from 1–4pm.

To RSVP for one of these training dates, contact Heather Foslund, AmeriCorps member at (775) 881.7560, ext. 7483 or email hfoslund@ucdavis.edu.
