Serving Hood, Johnson, and Somervell Counties

The Texas Master Naturalist program develops local teams of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities. The Texas Master Naturalist program is a partnership among the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and other local partners.

The Rio Brazos Chapter works to carry out this mission in Hood, Johnson, and Somervell Counties. Chapter members work with partners to:

  • Improve public understanding of natural resource ecology and management;
  • Enhance existing natural resource technical guidance, stewardship, and outreach activities;
  • Develop a Texas Master Naturalist coordinated volunteer network.

The Texas Master Naturalist official website provides more detailed information about the statewide program.
