Master Naturalists Recognized for Service

Please see below for the article placed in the April 12th edition of the Laker Weekly by Kathy Scott. Kudos to us. (note that Jim Zinck was inadvertently listed as Jim Pilversack. No worries, they're both nice guys.)

About The Virginia Master Naturalist Program

Mission

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?

People who are curious about nature, enjoy the outdoors, and want to be a part of natural resource management and conservation in Virginia are perfect candidates to become Virginia Master Naturalists. 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.

Overview

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. An additional 8 hours of advanced training are also required. An important part of the certification process is the required 40 hours of volunteer service. More information click here
