The Virginia Master Naturalist Program is a statewide corps of volunteers providing education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities. Interested Virginias become Master Naturalists through training and volunteer service.

Who Can Participate?

It is open to all adults regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or marital or family status.

The process for becoming a certified Virginia Master Naturalist typically takes 6 to 12 months. One starts by completing a 40 hour basic training course offered by a local chapter of the program.
