The Texas Master Naturalist program welcomes volunteers who are interested in learning about the natural world and contributing to conservation in their communities. Through training, service projects, and educational outreach, members gain knowledge about local ecosystems while helping protect and interpret the natural resources of the Lower Trinity Basin.
How the Program Works
New volunteers begin by completing an initial training course that introduces a wide range of natural resource topics, including ecology, wildlife, plants, water resources, and conservation practices. Training includes classroom instruction, field experiences, and opportunities to learn from local experts.
After completing the training course, volunteers contribute service hours to conservation projects, citizen science efforts, and educational programs that support natural resource stewardship in Liberty and Chambers counties.
