While the Master Naturalist program is administered at the state level, each host unit is able to tailor the program to meet the needs of their local communities. Timing of each training and selection of local projects are two of the ways each unit can really make the program unique to their area.
Christopher Evans is the Master Naturalist Interim State Coordinator.
