Indiana Master Naturalist

Indiana Master Naturalist LogoRegistration for the Fall 2022 session has closed. Keep an eye on our website for updates regarding future IMN programs.

Learn about Indiana’s natural resources from flowers to frogs and dunes to swamps. Understand how diverse and unique the Great Lakes region truly is. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone with a love for the outdoors who is wishing to expand their knowledge of plants, wildlife and other natural resources in Indiana. Each week a new topic is presented by expert(s) of the respective fields. A few may lead class outdoors- time and weather permitting. Upon completion of the nine week course, students are required to volunteer 30 hours to become certified Indiana Master Naturalists through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
