Who are we?

The Missouri Master Naturalist Springfield Plateau chapter formed in 2006. To date, nearly 100 volunteers have graduated the program.

Master Naturalists are available as volunteers for environmental, conservation, and public outreach projects. Knowledgeable volunteers participate in activities like trail building, stream monitoring, citizen science, invasive plant removal, and educational presentations.

Missouri Master Naturalist is a training/service program co-sponsored by the University of Missouri Extension and Missouri Department of Conservation. Master Naturalists complete 40 hours of community service and eight hours of advanced training annually to remain certified.
