The Biodiversity Education Center would like to announce that registration for the 2019-2020 session of Junior Master Naturalist is now open! This program is open to children in grades 4th – 6th and begins September 2019. Through exciting hands-on explorations and outdoor adventures, youth participants will gain the skills and knowledge to become a steward of the environment. Once the participants have completed the program, they will have the opportunity to help train future Junior Master Naturalists by becoming volunteers themselves.
The Junior Master Naturalist program includes seven courses that introduce different aspects of the natural environment. Each course consists of one classroom lesson followed by a field trip practicum. Classes take place at the Biodiversity Education Center, where students explore foundational concepts through engaging activities. Each Field trip is hosted at various conservation sites throughout North Texas. These practicums give students the opportunity to apply the concepts they learned in class, develop skills, and experience wildlife first-hand.
