Do you enjoy mother nature and are interested in learning more? Do you enjoy outdoor recreation, bird watching, identifying plants and animals, and supporting conservation? Do you enjoy volunteering your time? If so, this program is for you!
The Idaho Master Naturalist program is an adult education and volunteer program with the aim to "develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to actively work toward the stewardship of Idaho’s natural environment." This new chapter would be centered around learning about SW Idaho’s natural resources. Master Naturalists attend 40 hours of educational programming, field trips, and hands-on experiences. They also have to submit 40 hours of volunteer work toward conservation in one year for certification.
If you are interested in becoming a member of this chapter, please contact us at deerflat@fws.gov or (208) 467-9278 and attend our first meeting on February 7th at 1pm at the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center.
Registration fee is $100 with $50 refunded upon completion of the certification.
