Educational outreach is an important part of our mission as Master Naturalists. We volunteer in a a variety of places and interact with both adults and children. Sibley Nature Center, Museum of the Southwest/Blakemore Planetarium, Petroleum Museum, I-20 Wildlife Preserve and Community fairs are just a few examples of places we strive to educate the public on topics relating to nature. If you are looking for ideas as an LETMN Member for a booth or project, you are in the right place! If you are a teacher or parent looking for some cool projects for your class or children, you are in the right place! If you are just interested in what kinds of things we do to have fun as a Master Naturalists, you are in the right place!
