Abstract

The Galveston Bay Area Master Naturalist Program is a volunteer education program designed to create a group of informed individuals knowledgeable of the values and uses of Galveston Bay's natural resources. These volunteers receive more than 56 hours of classroom and field training. In addition to the training, volunteers must complete at least 40 hours of volunteer service in local restoration and education projects and complete at least eight hours of advanced training to become a certified Master Naturalist.
