All Volunteer Naturalists must attend training.
Jug Bay's mission is to increase awareness, understanding, and appreciation of estuarine and other natural ecosystems and their conservation through outdoor education, research, stewardship, and volunteering. With this in mind, we also know that none of us are experts and we all learn new things each day. This is why training is essential and required for all Volunteer Naturalists. We want to be sure our patrons and students are getting the highest quality experience.
Are you willing to attend training as required? This will be set up at *
