If you answered yes, the Great Salt Lake Nature Center wants you as a volunteer naturalist.

The center is part of the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area west of Farmington.

"Our spring field trip season is coming up fast," says Justina Parsons-Bernstein, Great Salt Lake Nature Center director. "We're looking for people to help us run field trips, workshops and nature tours. These activities happen during the day. They're a lot of fun."

Parsons-Bernstein will hold training sessions for new volunteers on March 9 and March 10, 2010. The sessions run from 9–11:30 a.m. each day. The sessions will be held at the Great Salt Lake Nature Center, 1700 W. Glover Lane in Farmington.

If you'd like to volunteer, contact Parsons-Bernstein at 801-589-2373 or jparsonsbernstein@utah.gov.
