We share our love for the Hill Country’s natural resources and our communities benefit from our volunteer projects. We’ve earned the pins to prove it.
Texas Master Naturalists must recertify annually to retain the Master Naturalist designation and receive the current year’s certification pin and milestone awards.
Annual Certification Pins
Forty hours of volunteer service and eight hours of advanced training must be completed and submitted by December 31 to receive the current year’s pin. Pin design is retired each year.
The 2026 recertification pin is the Bobcat
The annual certification pins for all years can be found on the State TMN website here.

Members earn milestone pins for achieving significant recorded hours.
