    I am interested in becoming a Texas Master Naturalist, but I am assuming that the program is on hold at this time. Is this correct? Has the registration deadline been extended?

    Hi there! I’m interested in the TXMN program in El Paso. I work in the conservation department of the water utility and I’m currently finishing my B.S. of Sustainability with a focus on environmental/ecosystem sustainability. I know COVID has really thrown a wrench in everything this year. I was wondering what the options for this program are currently, if any. Thank you so much for any information you’re able to send my way!

    Good Afternoon,

    I was trying to inquire about the 2021 Master Naturalist program in the El Paso, Tx Region and could not find registration dates. Is this program still available in the area?

    Thank you,

    Jacob Croft
