The Elkhorn Slough Reserve has five miles of trails that wander through shady oak woodlands, grassland savannas, and across salt marsh and mudflats. Visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities are invited to join weekend tours to learn more about this unique spot. Guides engage visitors in wildlife identification and help inspire conservation of California's natural resources. Potential docents must enjoy working with the public and be able to hike 1-2 miles comfortably. Reserve staff provides training in local natural history and conservation, as well as enrichment opportunities throughout the year for guides to expand their knowledge. Tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays at 10am or 11am. Scheduling is flexible, and based on your availability. We ask docents to commit to leading at least one hike a month for a full year.
