To get initially certified and remain certified as a Master Naturalist, you are required to take 8 hours of Advanced Training. Some hours can be by Webinars offered by the State Texas Master Naturalist office, others may be by attending scheduled speakers at the monthly LETMN meeting, lectures at Sibley Nature Center, the Petroleum Museum or other approved sources. Our chapter sends emails and keeps a Calendar to alert members and trainees of A.T. opportunities.
For a short list of places to find Webinars and an approved list of current or upcoming A.T. opportunities see below.
