Our 2025 training class has begun. If you missed your chance to sign up this year, we will be having another training session next year. Hope to see you there!

Training sessions will be held on various Saturdays from February to October.  Some days will be broken up into a morning session, break for lunch, then  afternoon  session.  Days with field study will be full days with a break for lunch.  Most classes will start 8-9 AM & finish 3-5 PM. Dates, times, locations and instructors may change due to circumstances beyond our control. Participants will be contacted by email/text as far in advance as possible if changes occur.
