Brazoria County Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist is seeking men and women interested in becoming a Texas Master Naturalist.
“I was pleasantly surprised at the high level of knowledge and expertise of the instructors leading the various training sessions. The quality of the training far exceeded my expectations,” recent intern Kyle Purvis said.
Intern Kathy Pittman agrees.
“I’ve always had a love of the outdoors, but this class gives you a greater understanding of our local environs and the interactions between organisms and their habitat. You learn SO MUCH!” “I have met some of the most knowledgeable people, with similar interests, and am thoroughly enjoying my work as a Master Naturalist!” Pittman said.
Relationships to the environment are studied.
“The classes, field trips, interactions with subject matter experts and our group projects opened the curtains to show how intertwined and fragile the relationships between wildlife, the environment, and humans really are,” Melanie Hollenshead said.
