“In the end, we will conserve only what we love;
Baba Dioum
we will love only what we understand,
and we will understand only what we are taught.”
The Junior Texas Master Naturalist is for students between the ages of 9 and 13. The Heartwood Chapter has a new Junior Master Naturalist class each fall. Classes take place one Saturday each month, typically starting in September and ending in June. Classes are held on Saturdays from 9-11 a.m., plus optional volunteer service to 12:30 p.m. A parent or guardian must attend each session with their child.
The classes are held at different locations around north Harris, Montgomery, and Walker counties so students can visit some of our local nature centers and parks while learning from environmental educators who are experts in their field.
Completion of the Junior Master Naturalist Program requires 10 hours of initial training and 6 hours of volunteer services.
Registration for the class is $50 to cover the necessary materials. A link to PayPal will be shared when the application is accepted.
