Nebraska Master Naturalist is a statewide program that recruits, trains and manages naturalist volunteers. It's an experience like no other, combining fascinating coursework, interactive field trips and meaningful volunteer opportunities.

Here's just a few things you'll do as a Master Naturalist:

• Positively impact the environment. Once you're trained, amazing volunteer opportunities open up across the state — everything from education to stewardship, community science and recreation.
• Gain valuable knowledge. The one-of-a-kind training program offers in-depth knowledge about native plants, wildlife habitats, conservation principles and so much more — all taught by subject-matter experts.
• Find a community. Master naturalists get to meet and network with others who share their passion for nature and conservation. You'll also connect with local organizations doing important work.
