River Bend Nature Center is looking for a few good teachers with flexible time on their hands. River Bend's Fourth-Grade Ecology Labs begin half-day sessions four days a week the third week of September, and the outdoor education center is again facing a shortage ofqualified field guides for this essential program.

Retired school teachers make outstanding field guides, according to Leslie Cusick-Fernandes, River Bend's Education Director. However, any adult (18 and older) with a genuine interest in nature and working with school-age children can be trained for River Bend's ecology programs.

Hours mainly will be8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays for the ecology labs which will run through October.

Candidates must complete an application and agree to a background investigation before training begins. New field guides will be given Red Cross certified first aid training as well as thorough curriculum training.

Individuals wanting more information or an application can call Leslie at (940) 322-1230 or come see us at River Bend 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
River Bend is located at 2200 3rd Street, Wichita Falls, TX. From 5th Street, turn North at Sunset (traffic light at Durham Transportation school bus barn), then take the second left hand turn at 3rd Street (across from the city'simpound lot).
