Our Tribe’s Fortune 1,000 Hours – Nancy Casillas, Class of 2009
The world can be a very negative and disappointing place if you believe the news headlines. Being a Master Naturalist gets you in touch with other people who care. People who are doing what they can to preserve our native green spaces and the species who call them home. It helps to feel that your little bit is worthwhile and to see that when it’s combined with everyone else, change can actually happen.
