North Texas Master Naturalist youth programs strives to teach and inspire youth to engage with, respect, and learn about the beauty of Texas nature. Our well-informed volunteers are dedicated to facilitate learning and appreciation of nature by supporting what teachers and nature leaders are doing with young people all over Dallas, Kaufman and Rockwall counties. We offer one time lessons/experiences, and would consider ongoing monthly meetings.
