Whether you're managing land in the country or an avid supporter of green spaces in urban areas, interest in expanding our understanding of the natural environment has never been higher. With an increased focus on sustainability, safety, and innovation, what we know about shepherding our energy and environmental resources has evolved rapidly in the past decade. In addition, we would like to bring your attention to our land acknowledgment.
If you have questions about best practices in environmental stewardship. Then, you'll appreciate that our information is based on peer-reviewed science - the gold standard in determining the credibility and reliability of information.
Our local land managers and environmental educators need your help. Find ways to volunteer locally and earn the title of Master Naturalist through our volunteer training program. While our training is not required to volunteer at the organizations below, it sure does help! Plus, Master Naturalists get expanded opportunities to serve with Extension and beyond. Apply today.
We are proud of our volunteers and partners' work to create this beautiful and accessible plant identification guide for Meadowbrook Park in Urbana, Illinois.
