The Audubon Docent Guild is a group of volunteers who lead environmental and conservation programs at Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary. Docents lead guided tours of the Sanctuary, weekly nature story hours for preschoolers, nature festivals, scout workshops, children's nature-theme birthday parties, night-time owl prowls, summer nature camps and science outreach programs in school classrooms and public libraries. Docents also assist Houston Audubon' s conservation programs including the Tuesday Trail Crew, ELMNS Work Days, Team TLC Cabin Crew, the Houston Audubon annual gala, and other restoration efforts and special events. Volunteer schedules are flexible and involve both weekday and weekend opportunities for exploring nature with Houston's kids.
