Discover and educate!
As one of the Foundation’s most successful programs, the Beach Naturalist Volunteer Program was formally adapted by the park in 2006 along with the designation of the Rosario tide pools as an active restoration zone.
The Beach Naturalist Volunteer Program is active between April and September when the tides are traditionally low at Rosario and the pools are exposed. Starting in the spring, volunteers assist with tide pool field trips and provide informal interpretation on the weekends to visitors. Once school is out for the summer, and weekly visitation increases, volunteers assist park staff by delivering informal interpretation throughout the week as well as support Discovery Center operations.
