In a Nutshell
Who are we?
The Virginia Master Naturalist program is a volunteer organization providing education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas. The James River Chapter works primarily in Powhatan, Goochland, and Louisa Counties.
Master Naturalists receive training about the natural world and continue to learn while doing volunteer work in our community. Click Citizen Science, Stewardship, and Outreach to learn more.
