Are you interested in learning more about the habitats, plants, animals and natural history of Connecticut? Are you a landowner, citizen, teacher, park naturalist, land trust employee, conservation planning board member, or natural resource professional looking to increase your knowledge of the natural environment? If so, join us for our 2022 Master Naturalist Trainings at Goodwin Conservation Center. Through this program, participants will learn about the ecosystems of Connecticut, the animals and plants that inhabit our area, and current conservation issues affecting our wildlife and natural resources. The program includes a mix of indoor classroom presentations and outdoor hands-on field sessions where participants learn to identify, interpret, and understand key ecological natural resources through education and service.

Participants completing this Level I course will become “Apprentice Naturalists”. Training takes place on six Saturdays between April and June. A completed application must be received by Saturday, March 18th, 2022. Individuals interested in becoming a “Master Naturalist” may go on to complete the Level II course in Fall 2022.
