Trained

The reserve's management is working with the volunteer groups Bolsa Chica Conservancy, Bolsa Chica Land Trust and Amigos de Bolsa Chica to develop a program that will have trained docents walk the property and educate the public about the rules.

Is trained a verb in the perfect infinitive or an adjective in the attributive position in the that-clause above?

anonymous Is trained a verb in the perfect infinitive or an adjective in the attributive position in the that-clause above? I had to read that three times before I realized that "have" is like "make" here. "Trained" is acting as an adjective modifying "docents".

I had to read that three times before I realized that "have" is like "make" here. "Trained" is acting as an adjective modifying "docents". Docents who have been trained will be walking the property under the new program.
