Master Naturalist Program

I just noticed an article in today's news about the master naturalist program in Arkansas. If you've ever wanted to know more about the natural world that we all like to photograph, and volunteer to help with preservation efforts, this looks like a worthwhile endeavor. Missouri, Kansas, and Texas have similar programs.

Who knows, maybe after I graduate, I'll be able to have an intelligent conversation with the Master of masters, Don Kurz!

Thanks for the link Bill, looks like a worthwhile program. I'm not involved in anything quite like this (I couldn't remember anything I learned anyway) but I do volunteer regularly with regional environmental groups who are restoring and managing prairie reminents.

I've done shrub & brush removal and planted prairie wildflowers on occassion. For me it's perfect, I give back a little to the community and future generations and I don't have to demonstrate how dumb I am when it comes to plants & animals!

Thanks for sharing.

As a Master Naturalists in Texas, I can tell you that it is a very worthwhile program. Especially if your chapter is active.

Join, you learn a lot, great people and an excellent excuse to be outdoors (as if we needed another one!).

Anyone have any links to the Kansas program? Looks like something I would be interested in but couldn't find anything on the Kansas program.

I could have sworn I saw a link when I googled the Arkansas page...maybe it was the Kansas City Missouri link I saw. You might be able to get more info by contacting a county extension office.

Thanks!
