Missouri Master Naturalists

The Missouri Master Naturalist program is a community-based natural resource education and volunteer service program for adults, sponsored by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the University of Missouri Extension. The mission is to engage Missourians in the stewardship of our state's natural resources through science-based education and volunteer community service. Volunteers support conservation efforts and natural resource education in the local community.
