So if you enjoy wildlife, like kids, and have time to volunteer during the day, sign up for a three-month training course for new WOW volunteers beginning September 22. Trained WOW docents travel to schools or youth groups to present programs focusing on New Hampshire wildlife and endangered species, aquatic ecology and wetlands. Volunteers get 11 sessions of free training between September and February. After the training, volunteers commit to at least 48 volunteer hours to natural resource education over the following two school years. The training sessions and most presentations take place during school-day hours. Download the schedule of WOW docent training sessions and a printable application from http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Education/ed_WOW_docents.htm.
