Ours was… The first full-time new staff person I created as director was a volunteer coordinator. And we decided to open volunteerism up to all areas of the zoo. We had volunteers in the maintenance department. We had more volunteers in the horticulture department than any place originally ‘cos everybody knew whether they had a green thumb or not. And whereas they might not know about working around the animals. So with the education with the docents, it took longer. But under Sinead Anderson who came down from a program that had a very good docent program in Sunset Zoo, she has expanded that.
