Your key to discovering the natural Missouri
The Missouri Master Naturalist™ program is an adult community-based natural resource education and volunteer service program sponsored jointly by the Missouri Department of Conservation and the University of Missouri Extension.
Our mission is to engage Missourians in the stewardship of our state's natural resources through science-based education and volunteer community service.
Missouri Master Naturalist volunteers support conservation efforts and natural resource education in their local communities.
Who can be a Missouri Master Naturalist Volunteer?
Any adult who supports conservation efforts, who is motivated to learn about the natural resources in their community, and who wishes to share that knowledge with others.
