Virginia Master Naturalists learn about Virginia's natural resources, including woods, wildlife, and water, and conduct volunteer work to benefit those resources. These volunteers have just completed an annual butterfly count in Albemarle County parts and natural areas.
Are you interested in nature and wanting to volunteer to benefit the woods, wildlife, and waters of Virginia? Eight of our VMN chapters are now accepting applications for their training courses for new volunteers starting in January or February. See their websites for more information.
