What is the UC Master Naturalist program?

A science based environmental education and outreach program designed to increase environmental stewardship and citizen participation in resource conservation throughout California. Through coursework, field training and a variety of service learning opportunities, we intend to increase the level of environmental literacy and enhance participants personal connection with the natural world. The program is in development by the UC Cooperative Extension.

"The Florida Master Naturalist course broadened and enhanced my knowledge base...I have become more assertive and confident...a more intelligent steward of natural resources and more effective at fostering stewardship in others." -Florida Master Naturalist Volunteer
