A wide variety of docent-led programs are offered for school classes on field trips. Teachers will also be interested in our Natural Curiosity Boxes . These contain a variety of hands-on materials, videos, suggested activities etc. to be used in individual classrooms. Visitors of all ages can enjoy and learn from our permanent and temporary displays as well as our many interactive exhibits which include Discovery Boxes, the Small World Microscope Center and a paleontological dig box. Finally, the Museum Store is the North Coast source for nature books and gifts.
Volunteers are the heart of our museum's operations.
If you have skills or knowledge you would like to share, or have an interest in natural history and would like to get involved, give us a call. If you would like to become a docent and present programs to school groups you are invited to attend our Docent Training held in early February. The Museum has all sorts of volunteers including woodworkers, animal caretakers, press release writers, illustrators and store clerks.
