Question: For many docents, Lodge Duty is the most rewarding docent activity at TPSNR. Do you agree?

Answer: I hope Lodge Duty would get your vote, although children’s program, weekend nature walks, and special walks might get votes also. Lodge Duty wins because it gives docents many opportunities to interact with our visitors. Interpretation of TPSNR for visitors is a skill that docents continue to develop. Each docent does it their own way. Here are some tips for making the most of Lodge Duty that I used for Docent Training in May 2009.

Size-up visitors; some will be interested, some not. Speak clearly and show interest in your visitors.

Keep your interactions short and lively; the visitors didn’t come for a long lecture. Be up-to-date. Know the status of trails, where the best flowers can be seen, what our

animals are doing (Roadrunner or nesting finches around the Lodge, whales passing by,

Peregrine falcons breeding). Build on their questions: Which trail to take, Are Torrey pines unique, Was the Lodge a hotel? Ask help from a ranger when you need it. (“That’s a good question; let’s see what our

ranger says.”) Use an ‘opener’. Examples of ‘openers’ that I like to use to start the interaction:

“Did you say hello to our skunk Daisy?” “Which of our animals has the softest fur?” (Bobcat) “How many foxes have you found?” “Have you lifted our biggest cone?” (Coulter Pine “Widow Maker”) Recommend the most suitable trail. Take them out back to show Red Butte, ask how much time they have, consider ages and shoes. If in doubt, recommend the Guy Fleming. Emphasize our Torrey pines. Explain that they arrived long ago and survive here, helped by their long needles that rake moisture from the fog. Torrey pines are also on Santa Rosa island, but we don’t know why. Point out and explain the Torrey pines plaque over the fireplace. Ask what was happening in this area around 1850? (Most people come up with the Gold Rush, but don’t know that California became a State in 1850, so the Torrey pine could be considered California’s Birthday Plant.) Explain that Charles Parry was on the Mexican-American Border Commission and named the new pine species for the eminent American botanist John Torrey. Discuss the Lodge: it was built in Hopi style as a restaurant, with $1 meals. Mention that Ellen Browning Scripps was almost 90 years when she funded the Lodge, and tell them as much as they want to hear about EBS as exemplar philanthropist. Show them current happenings near the Lodge: the Torrey pine seedling; ripe Lemonade berry; the Manroot display; Argiope spiders on Prickly Pear. Give visitors some information to take away to remember TPSNR - targeted to age and interests. □
