Forsyth County Master Naturalists

A wide stream with heavy vegetation growth on each side

The Forsyth County Master Naturalist program is an adult education program with hands-on environmental education. The program is designed to explore habitats, natural resources, ecosystems, and human impact on the environment in our surrounding area of the Appalachian foothills. The education and experience gained through Master Naturalist training classes is applied to various activities that include teaching, promoting environmental best practices, and hands-on projects that will have an effective impact on ecosystems and wildlife habitats in our area.

Our particular areas of interest are: water conservation, land conservation, ecosystem preservation and enhancement, and recreational land use.
