Texas Master Naturalist
The Texas Master Naturalist program exists through a partnership between AgriLIFE Extension, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center. After 60 hours of combined classroom instruction and field work, 8 hours of advanced training, and 40 hours of volunteer service, an individual is certified as a Texas Master Naturalist. At the end of this program, each individual will be well-informed on the natural areas of southeast Texas and be qualified to provide education, outreach and services to their local community.
