Join us for the 2026 Rat Island Docent Program Training, open to both new volunteers interested in becoming Rat Island Docents and returning docents looking for a refresher and updates. Rat Island and the adjoining spit are ecologically rich and culturally significant areas within Fort Flagler State Park. This training will prepare docents to engage the public with accurate, science-based information about wildlife, habitat protection, and responsible recreation—while serving as friendly, informed ambassadors on the beach.

Who should attend:

• Prospective Rat Island Docents

• Returning docents

• Volunteers interested in wildlife education, stewardship, and public outreach

Space may be limited. Registration is encouraged.

Location: Fort Flagler State Park, WWII Rec Center
