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 Connecticut’s natural resources through education and service.  Participants completing the Level I course will become “Apprentice Naturalists”, and no further training is required.  Individuals interested in becoming a “Master Naturalist” may go on to complete the Level II course.
