Minnesota Master Naturalist Volunteer Course - Prairie and Potholes

This is an educational volunteer program for adults akin to the Master Gardener program and is geared toward adults who are curious and enjoy learning about the natural world, sharing their knowledge with others, and support conservation. Volunteers complete a 40-hour course over 11 weeks, studying natural history, environmental interpretation, and conservation stewardship, as well as a final capstone project.

This summer Saint John`s Arboretum will offer the ‘Prairie and Potholes’ Master Naturalist class.  The Arboretum offers an ideal place for studying prairies with over 50 acres of restored prairie on site.
