The Naturalist Training Program provides classroom and field training over the span of eight weeks. It prepares adults of all experience levels to become naturalists in their communities and to contribute to environmental education and conservation efforts through volunteer service.

Upon completing the program, participants are expected to contribute 10 volunteer hours to the organization. You’ll be assisted with identifying opportunities where you can apply your knowledge and interests to  CT Audubon’s work and activities.

Space is limited.  Cost: Members $285; Non-members $325.

Be sure to check the schedule for the start time and CT Audubon site where each class will take place. Please bring a water bottle, snacks/lunch, binoculars, sun hat, sunblock and insect repellent; wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing appropriate for the day’s weather.
