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!
I love being a Wisconsin Master Naturalist. It brings me so much joy and hope for the future, knowing that there are so many people who care about the natural world and who dedicate so much time and effort toward education and stewardship. This is important work, and it's wonderful to be a part of this community.
