Master Naturalists from all over the state will gather at Mo Ranch for Advanced Training and opportunities to meet other Master Naturalists. The meeting is open to everyone affiliated with the program including Certified members, In Training Members, Advisors, and special guests. Mo Ranch is located in the beautiful hill country along the Guadalupe River near Hunt Texas.
