Naturalists
offer training
Northwest Arkansas Master Naturalists are now accepting applications for the 2017 training classes. The classes fill quickly. In the past, most classes have been held in Benton County. New this year, a second series of classes will be offered in Washington County. The Benton County class will start Jan. 21. The first Washington County class is Jan. 28. Classes will be held on Saturdays through April at both venues.
Area experts provide many hours of combined classroom and field instruction on various ecological and environmental topics. Training can include techniques for observation and identification of trees, plants, insects, birds, mammals, fungi, reptiles, amphibians, fish and non-living ecosystem features, such as rock formations, astronomy and stream and lake ecology.
Participants must attend 40 or more hours of training for graduation, earning the title of Master Naturalist. The cost is $135, which includes the cost of training and materials.
To become a certified Master Naturalist, participants must complete 40 hours of volunteer time annually and pay annual club dues of $30. After the first year, eight hours of advanced education hours are required every year to maintain certification.
