Texas Master Naturalist Program Training
The Texas Master Naturalist Program is a volunteer training and development program sponsored by Texas AgriLIFE Extension Service, a Texas A&M System and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Â Texas Master Naturalist training covers a wide variety of topics including botany, ecology, geology, insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, soil science, weather & climate, and archaeology. To maintain certification, Texas Master Naturalists must complete 40 hours of volunteer service and 8 hours of advanced training each year. Examples of volunteer service projects are listed under Signature Projects and Other Projects.
The classes are usually one day a week for eight consecutive weeks in various locations in Fort Bend and Waller Counties. The class schedule varies. Classes are typically held on Saturdays and some Tuesday evenings. For the 2017 schedule of classes click this link: Coastal Prairie Chapter Texas Master Naturalist Schedule.
