Experts in a range of disciplines related to natural history, such as climate, ecology and forests and aquatic ecosystems, will provide training to aspiring Master Naturalists. Aspiring volunteers will learn to provide education, citizen science and outreach and manage natural resources and public lands.

Training classes will begin at 7 and end at 10 p.m. each Tuesday from Feb. 24 – June 9, except for March 31, at the Long Branch Nature Center, located at 625 S. Carlin Springs Rd., Arlington. There will also be four all-day field trips, which are mandatory. For more information, visit armn.org.
