ABOUT THE WORKSHOP 

This is a training workshop for volunteer guides at the new Sisters Island Marine Park. The workshop introduces you to the fundamentals of guiding at the Park and hopes to build your confidence to guide effectively. It is also a chance to interact with like-minded people and more experienced nature guides while coming up with new and exciting ways to share about our shores.

WHO CAN JOIN?

Training is open to:

• Those 19 years and above.
• Able to easily get in and out of a boat and to walk about 1km.
• Participants must commit to guide 4 times in the coming 12 months at NParks public walks at the Sisters Islands Marine Park. (Public walk dates will be made available in Nov 2014 and may not always be on a weekend.)
• Priority for the field trip given to those who attended both Module 1 and Module 2. Seats are limited.
