We also invite you to check out several volunteer projects highlighted in “What We Do” along with a slide show of volunteer photos showcasing our state’s natural resources.  We have such a talented group of volunteers!  

If you have always wanted to become a Master Naturalist volunteer and never knew how to do so, we now have a section just for you.  Go to “Become a Master Naturalist” and learn everything you need to know to get started.  

Already a volunteer? Our “Documents and Resources” section will provide links to documents, trainings materials, and volunteer opportunities throughout the state.  

Our program has also started an account with the Virginia Tech Foundation that allows us to accept tax-deductible donations.  If you like what you see and want to support what we do, please visit our “Give” page for additional information.
