Pennsylvania Master Naturalist is a statewide partnership initiative that aims to connect people with their local ecosystems through intensive natural science training and local conservation service work.
It is a venture directed toward developing a local corps of “master volunteers and service providers” to offer education, outreach and service dedicated to the understanding and management of natural areas within their communities.
Pennsylvania Master Naturalist works closely with a coalition of community and conservation organizations to ensure that they have the necessary volunteer leadership to address the most pressing conservation needs and challenges.
This year-round program has three components: the initial volunteer training course, volunteer service, and continuing education.
Register For Training Courses
Partnering organizations are offering Master Naturalist training courses in Allegheny, Armstrong, Cambria, Centre, Delaware, Lancaster, and Lehigh counties this fall.
Fall training courses run from early August - late October with classes one night per week and four Saturday field sessions.
Attending a training course is the first step to becoming a certified Pennsylvania Master Naturalist volunteer.
Early bird rate deadline is April 8th and final deadline is May 3rd.
