Tennessee Naturalist Program

Picture
Dive deeper into your knowledge about Tennessee's plants, wildlife, and natural environments with the Tennessee Naturalist Program!

This 10-month program is an excellent resource for adults looking to learn more about our beautiful state, and will give you a good handle on everything from birds to geology, plants to water ecology. Students will receive 40 hours of training from local experts, preparing you to be a more knowledgeable and capable naturalist, and to volunteer in our community. Class meets one Saturday morning every month, so it's perfect for adults with busy schedules.

Registration for the 2020-2021 session is now open! Due to Covid-19 we are offering a hybrid style program - video lectures + in-person field work. Classes will begin December 2020 and run through May 2021.
To sign up go here.

Please contact us if you would like to be put on the interest list for next year.
