The Missouri Master Naturalist Program is a volunteer service organization dedicated to conservation and education of Missouri’s natural resources. A naturalist may serve volunteer hours helping out at any of the 17 partner organizations in the Kansas City area such as Burroughs Audubon Society.
To become a Master Naturalist, after application, about 3 months of weekly training sessions prepare you with knowledge of Missouri ecology. Each member is required to serve 40 hours of volunteer service and attend 8 hours of advanced training annually to remain certified. Monthly meetings offer inspiring educational programs and enjoyable social opportunities with others who share your passion for nature.
