The world is changing and our wild places face new challenges. The organizations helping us understand and take care of the woods, prairies, lakes, and wildlife of Wisconsin need help meeting their missions. Master Naturalists are part of the solution. Master Naturalists make a difference by learning, serving and giving back to Wisconsin. Join us today!
Organizations
Are you looking for volunteers or do you have adult educational programming that Master Naturalists can attend to reach their advanced training requirements? There’s a new website where Master Naturalists and other nature lovers can find organizations that have volunteer and learning opportunities to share: Wild Paths Wisconsin.
Hi – I’m Mary and I am a Wisconsin Master Naturalist! Wisconsin Master Naturalist is a great program that builds a network of well-informed volunteers dedicated to conservation service within their communities. I wanted to do all that, but I live in a pretty rural area of Wisconsin. There are things going on here, but it was not simple for me to connect to all the opportunities in my own community. So I thought “Wouldn’t it be nice to make a site where any nature lover could find organizations that want their help?” And Wild Paths Wisconsin was born!
I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of training including learning new things about nature, making new friends, the great instructors and guest speakers, and of course being out in nature. And mostly, it gave me the skills and confidence I need to help make our natural world better.
