COSEE-Pacific Partnerships is developing the The Oregon Coast Ecoregion of the Oregon Master Naturalist Program. The Mission of the Oregon Master Naturalist Program is to develop a statewide corps of knowledgeable, skilled and dedicated volunteers who enrich their communities and enhance public awareness of Oregon's natural resources through conservation education, scientific inquiry and stewardship activities.
The first trainings are anticipated in Spring/Summer, 2010. The Oregon Coast portion of the program will teach participants about the natural history of Oregon’s coastal ecoregion and develops the master naturalist's ability to convey this knowledge to diverse audiences. Once in place, the program will engage citizens within their communities to promote understanding and stewardship of coastal and ocean resources and areas.
Visit the Oregon Master Naturalist website to learn more about the program, to become an active partner in the development of the statewide program, or to learn how you agency, organization or group could benefit from Oregon Master Naturalists.
