STEPS TO BECOME A CERTIFIED LOUISIANA MASTER NATURALIST:
To become a certified Louisiana Master Naturalist, a participant must fulfill the following:
• Register for a course and attend at least 8 of the 10 formal training workshops that combine field and classroom instruction, as well as the closing gathering. We strongly encourage attendance at all 10 workshops.
• 20 hours of approved volunteer service completed within six months following the course's closing session; LMN-GNO allows that volunteering be done in virtually all venues where natural history support is needed, such as state agencies, parks and refuges, schools, scouts, nature/environmental centers, nature programs of not-for-profits, summer camps, etc.
• 8 hours of advanced training by the same date.
