What's the Virginia Master Naturalist Program All About?

12/7/2016

 
Virginia Master Naturalist chapters in Bath County, Franklin County, Lynchburg, Abingdon, Isle of Wight County, Blacksburg, Madison County, Newport News, Chesterfield County, Charlottesville, and Virginia Beach are all currently accepting applications for new volunteers.  If you have a desire to actively participate in conserving Virginia's natural resources and a yearning to learn more about the natural world around you, consider joining our volunteer corps.  Visit our chapters page to connect with a chapter near you.

This video, generously produced by VMN volunteer Sonny Bowers (Historic Rivers Chapter), gives viewers a great sense for what it means to be a VMN volunteer and why the program is so important.  It even includes an important message from our governor!  Thank you to Sonny for all the time put into this wonderful film.
