Virginia Master Naturalists learn about Virginia’s natural resources, including woods, wildlife, and water, and conduct volunteer work to benefit those resources. These volunteers have just completed an annual butterfly count in Albemarle County parts and natural areas.

    Is there going to be a Master Naturalists class in 2015 in Abingdon or at Beagle Ridge? My husband and I live in Wytheville and are
    very interested in taking it. I am already a Master Gardener and am
    getting ready to start the Master Herbalist Course. Thank you for any information you can provide.
