Who can become an Idaho Master Naturalist?
Idaho Master Naturalists are people who enjoy outdoor recreation, bird watching, identifying plants and animals, gardening, and supporting conservation through volunteerism.
Chapters exist in ten locations statewide (Sandpoint, Moscow, McCall, Nampa, Boise (2), Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Driggs, and Island Park). Participants attend 40 hours of education and donate 40 hours of volunteer service toward conservation.
Anyone who enjoys and appreciates Idaho’s outdoors can be an Idaho Master Naturalist; teachers, hunters, recreationists, farmers, retired professionals, and . . . you!
Through the Idaho Master Naturalist Program you will:
- Participate in conservation efforts in five areas (Citizen Science, Conservation Education, Administration, Habitat Stewardship, and Chapter Formation and Maintenance).
- Find camaraderie with a large network of dedicated, trained volunteers who work toward conservation.
- Further your education and interest in nature.
- Have an opportunity to give back to your community.
