Learn nature’s secrets and help others get "Environmentally Ready!" Explore the stunning ecosystems of Sonoma Mountain with university faculty & other experts (virtually), with safe in-person access to Osborn Preserve. Become a naturalist to gain insights into local landscapes and the skills to share your knowledge. This new program is for new naturalists and veteran naturalists alike. As a naturalist, you will be welcomed into a community of volunteers who work on university research projects, and attend exclusive events, hikes, and private tours of SSU’s three preserves. Registration is free of charge, and is capped at 40 participants. To participate, you must be available for five 1-hour Zoom training sessions on consecutive Sundays, February 14 - March 14 from 10 A.M. to 11 A.M. You must also attend five or more 1-hour programs with experts, and complete specialized training done independently (e.g., Environmental Education including creation of videos, Land Management, Independent Study). No previous experience or knowledge is required.
