The Laguna Foundation is offering Laguna Guides Training this June. The training program prepares volunteers to lead activities and tours at the Laguna Environmental Center and to share their love of the Laguna with diverse audiences. The training is focused on the natural and cultural history of the Laguna and how to create dynamic visitor experiences for all ages. Guides also lead public walks on the Laguna Trail and help manage Great Blue Heron Hall during public education classes and special events. The Laguna Guides experience is fun and rewarding!

Poet and Zoologist H. Lons once said about the fascinating dragonfly: “they are the messengers of summer and the heralds of the sun.” Welcome the Summer Solstice with Kathy Biggs for a morning presentation in Heron Hall, lunch by the dragonfly-rich pond at the Laguna Environmental Center, followed by fun-filled time in the field. Kathy will share the biology, life cycle, and ecology of Odonata (the family to which dragonflies and damselflies belong) and learn how to identify the most common species in Sonoma County. The afternoon field trip will be an opportunity to practice identification skills and to observe the unusual and fascinating behaviors of dragonflies. Bring your own sack lunch. Coffee, tea and snacks will be provided.
Kathy Biggs is a local birder and nationally prominent expert on dragonflies and backyard wetlands biology. She is the author of Common Dragonflies of California: A Beginner's Pocket Guide, as well as other field guides and a dragonfly coloring book for children. For more information about Kathy's books and work, please visit her website at http://www.bigsnestpond.net. The Biggs' field guides and coloring books will be offered at a discounted price at this workshop.
