LMNGNO is partnering with the Louisiana Children's Museum to present a program of guided tours. These tours, for children and their families, will explore the natural world of the museum grounds at City Park.

Since December 2020, a small group of Master Naturalists has been meeting at the museum and planning out tours. In March we began to give trial tours to Langston Hughes Academy students. Now it is time to take these nature experiences to the general public, and we need your help.

We are asking for volunteers in two different capacities:

We need volunteers to assist in giving tours on two Saturdays in May – on May 22 and May 29. Volunteers will work two shifts each day, from 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. Ideally, these two days would serve as training opportunities for those who would like to give tours in the future.
We also need volunteers to give tours on a more regular basis, based on your availability. Ideally, volunteers would cover shifts on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays during the summer – from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. each day. (But this is flexible.)

Eventually, volunteers will have the option to develop more tours and activities to contribute to our growing collection.

This opportunity is ideal for educators, parents, grandparents, and those who want to share their love of the natural world with young budding naturalists.
