What does it take to be a Docent?
Out Volunteer Docents come from all backgrounds. You don’t have to be a fish scientist to talk about salmon!

What do Docents do?
Docents are integral to keeping the Kennedy Creek Salmon Trail running. Our volunteers lead 1.5 hours tours to school groups where they answer questions about the salmon life cycle, habitat, and spawning.
