Pre-Registration required by September 11, 2025. Laguna Guides help bring our events to life—from educational talks to nature walks and hands-on workshops. These programs connect people with nature, foster lifelong learning, and deepen appreciation for the Laguna de Santa Rosa. Guides play a key role by greeting attendees, sharing knowledge, assisting with set-up and clean-up, directing parking, supporting merchandise sales, and creating a welcoming, enthusiastic atmosphere around this Wetland of International Importance. In return, Guides attend events for free, enjoy continuing education and special outings, and join a warm, dedicated team of nature-lovers. Their service is essential—and deeply rewarding for those who care about community and the environment. 2025 Training schedule (14–hour commitment): Thursday, Sept. 18 (6–8pm): Meet the Laguna de Santa Rosa Watershed Thursday Sept. 25 (6–8pm): Meet the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation Saturday, Sept. 27 (9am–2pm): Indoor training at Heron Hall Saturday, Oct. 4 (9am–2pm): Outdoor training at Irwin Creek (Lunch provided) The $45 fee includes a training binder, name tag, and lunch.
