Audubon Kern River Preserve has a docent/volunteer corps that, by appointment, hosts several student groups and classes from pre-school through university level each year as well as numerous adult groups. Groups are encouraged to visit the preserve to study, conduct appropriate research, assist on restoration projects, and provide general service work.

We have expertise in the following areas: amphibians & reptiles, avian census techniques, binocular usage, birds, birding, ecological principals (beginning/youth to advanced/adult), hummingbirds, hydrology, native grass restoration, riparian forest restoration, storytelling, Turkey Vultures, and more.
