In September the Virginia Master Naturalist Program will open at Merrimac Farm. This is a great opportunity for people to learn more about nature close to home. It also should be lots of fun, with opportunities to catch dragonflies, trap small mammals, bird local wetlands, tour stream restoration projects and discover forest habitats.Master Naturalists are volunteers who lead help lead tours, clean up streams, survey wildlife populations, restore habitat and more. People who complete this program become Certified Master Naturalists.
The Merrimac Farm Master Naturalist program is open to all citizens living in Fauquier County and surrounding areas. Applications are now being accepted for the September session.
No previous experience is needed! The most important qualification for Master Naturalists is a desire to contribute to your local environment through volunteer service.”
