program is accepting applications for the 2018 Basic Training class from now

The VMN program is a
statewide corps of volunteers providing education, outreach, and service dedicated

occasionally Patrick counties. In addition to providing volunteer services,
VMN’s participate in ongoing education and citizen science activities to
further their knowledge and experience.

of natural resource management and conservation in Virginia are perfect candidates
