Nature Expo at Booker T Washington National Monument Saturday October 18th, 2014 from 2:00 - 4:00 PM
Here a Master
Naturalist, there a Master Naturalist, everywhere a Master Naturalist! Or sometimes it seems like it. There are 29 Chapters in Virginia and similar
programs in about 44 other states. The local
chapter called Blue Ridge Foothills And Lakes (BRFAL) has been involved in lots
of projects geared toward the conservation and management of natural resources
and public lands.
You may have
heard or seen reports of chestnut counting/planting, bluebird box monitoring,
wood duck box reparations, environmental education, water quality measurements,
buffer landscape efforts, stream monitoring, remote camera studies of mammals,
precipitation measurements, etc. All of these and more have involved local Master
Naturalists.
Now there is an opportunity for you to get an
in depth look at what Master Naturalists do and learn how to become
one! BRFAL will host (free to you) a
Nature Expo at Booker T. Washington National Monument (always free) on Saturday
Oct 18th from 2 - 4 PM. In addition to
displays describing many of the projects BRFAL members have been involved with,
there will be information about how to become a Certified Master Naturalist and
free coffee and snacks.
As always the
exhibits, restored buildings, vegetable garden, farm animals, trails and
streams that are available at BTWNM will be open for your enjoyment. Come out
for a fun afternoon! Or whole day! Meet others with a shared interest in things
relating to Nature.
