Wisconsin’s natural beauty doesn’t protect itself—it relies on the passion of dedicated volunteers. Whether it’s leading citizen science projects, teaching the next generation, or restoring local habitats, Master Naturalists are the backbone of Wisconsin conservation.
The Impact is Real: In 2025, our network of over 1,000 volunteers dedicated a staggering 90,328 hours on behalf of the state we love. That’s over 10 years of non-stop, 24/7 conservation work packed into a single calendar year!
As I've led trainings, I've been able to deepen my own knowledge of the area, and conduct valuable networking with the experts. I also love having an outlet for sharing my knowledge and passion for nature!
