Know your Wild Montana!
Master Naturalist Course with Cedar Mathers-Winn
August 20th to October 17th
Master Naturalists are trained in the ecology and natural history of the local landscape, including geology, plants, animals, fungi, and the connections between them. The Master Naturalist course goes beyond basic identification of organisms to explore the lives and stories that reveal how even the smallest creatures are fascinating and essential to life in our shared ecosystems. Training includes foundational knowledge, local natural history of the large and small, traditional scientific tools and techniques, and practices utilized by Charles Darwin, Aldo Leopold, and generations of naturalists before them. Master Naturalists also join a community of fun and inquisitive nature enthusiasts and deepen their own personal connection with the landscape we call home.
Through classroom and outdoor lessons, this 8-week course will deepen your experience and understanding of the fascinating landscape we call home. You will explore the local plants, mammals, birds, geology, and more. You will build a deeper connection with the land, meet other nature-enthusiasts, and join a state-wide community of Master Naturalists!
