There is also a great need for docents to operate the visitors center that will be completed this summer, Poulson said. Susan Kropf, director of development at Red Butte, said the volunteers are very important to Red Butte's very limited resources. "We couldn't do what we do without them" added Susan Fox, volunteer coordinator. Volunteer docents can receive Recreation and Leisure credit for the time spent working at Red Butte. Red Butte is looking for docents who can volunteer at least 40.hours a year. Students pay for the training program through the credit hour system and pay $80 for the course or $60 dollars non-studen- if they are Garden Members.
