The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
presents
  2016 Field Guide Training Program


BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster announces its dates for the 
2016 Field Guide Training Program.  Six Regular 
Tuesday Sessions: March 8, 15, 22, 29; April 5, &12, 2016,
9am-12pm. Three optional afternoon presentations 
on special topics, 1pm– 2:30 p.m.

If you have a yen to learn about the natural 
history of Cape Cod, Wing Island, and the Stony 
Brook Valley area, and if you enjoy talking with 
others and sharing what you’ve learned, then come 
join a like-minded group of volunteers and become 
a volunteer field guide at the Cape Cod Museum of 
Natural History, Cape Cod’s Nature Place. 
Completing the field guide training program 
prepares you to serve as a field guide who can 
lead school children out on the Museum trails in 
spring and fall and lead family walks during summer months.

During the training, veteran CCMNH volunteer 
field guides and naturalists will share 
information about the geology, biology, ecology 
and human history of the Wing Island area.  New 
guides will learn how to convey this information 
to audiences of all ages in a way that will 
create an appreciation of the rich diversity of 
life in the woodlands, salt marsh and beach 
ecosystems and the importance of being stewards 
of our natural surroundings. Each training 
session will include 1 ¼ hours of discussion and 
a 1-½ hour instructional walk on Museum trails 
(i.e., appropriate dress is required).  Veteran 
guides are invited to attend the training to 
brush up and prepare for the new season.

  To enroll in the program please call the Museum at 508-896-3867, ext. 133.

For more information please contact Barbara Knoss, Volunteer Coordinator at
  508-896-3867, ext. 119.
