Interpretation for Visitors

Docents are highly trained volunteers who interpret the cultural, natural and recreational features of state parks for visitors. 

Docents receive initial and continuing enrichment training to which they add their own unique approach and experiences. If you have a passion for sharing and enjoy speaking to the public, a docent position may be a good fit for you.  

Interpretive activities that docents become involved with include:

  • Educational Programs for School Groups and International Visitors
  • Museum Tours, Nature Hikes, Train Rides, Redwood Strolls, ATV Tours   
  • Living History Reenactments and Demonstrations
