Naturalists play an active part in achieving this goal by participating in all aspects of operating the Nature Center. Most of a naturalists’ time is spent teaching a variety of natural history programs but are also expected to help with other Nature Center duties.
Duties and responsibilities include but aren’t limited to leading groups of children on your own during field trips and summer camps both inside and outside on the trails, providing light interpretation to visitors to the nature center about our ambassador animals, trails, butterfly house, etc. Since most teaching is done while hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, canoeing, or climbing dunes, naturalists need to be in good physical condition. Flexibility to help with other duties around the nature center such as animal care, trail maintenance, etc.
