We are the Big Country Chapter of Texas Master Naturalist!
Our mission is to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities.
Want to get to know us better?
Join us for one of our monthly hikes on the first Saturday of each month at Lake Abilene, or come to one of our monthly Star Parties at Abilene State Park (held in the soccer field area). These events are a great way to meet our amazing volunteers, enjoy the outdoors, and learn more about who we are and what we do. We’d love to see you there!
Our Meetings…
Monthly meetings are usually held on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm at the Taylor County Extension Office in Abilene, Texas. Some meetings are held at other locations for special programs. We are also involved with a variety of other events throughout the community. The Big Country Chapter of Master Naturalists includes 14 counties: Taylor, Callahan, Coleman, Eastland, Fisher, Jones, Haskell, Knox, Nolan, Runnels, Shackelford, Stephens, Throckmorton and Tom Green County.
