Our Mission…
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.
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 13 counties: Taylor, Callahan, Coleman, Eastland, Fisher, Jones, Haskell, Knox, Nolan, Runnels, Shackelford, Stephens and Throckmorton County.
