The Topanga Canyon Docents Fall Training Class of 2016

topanga_canyon_docents_class_of_2016 We have a new, enthusiastic group joining our ranks as docents at Topanga State Park. We hope you will come join us for a walk or a stop in the Visitor Center on Sundays, January through June, and let us share our knowledge of Topanga State Park and the Santa Monica Mountains with you. The next docent training class will begin in September, 2017. Check our website in July for registration updates.
