Idaho Is A Land Of Wonderment
Idaho Master Naturalist Program
The mission of the Idaho Master Naturalist Program (IMNP) is to promote awareness, understanding, and respect of Idaho’s natural world among Idaho's citizens and visitors. If you want more info... please contact Sara Focht, MK Nature Center, Boise, Idaho; (208) 334-2225
It is accomplished in part by MN instructors, who teach students in the program about Idaho's environment using science-based information and interpretive techniques that prepare students to share their knowledge with others.
It is further accomplished by IMNP graduates, who share their knowledge with others and foster principles of sustainability, connectivity, and biodiversity to assist others to understand and respect Idaho's natural world as a community to which we all belong.
The IMNP has developed a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities. Many communities and organizations rely on such citizen volunteers for implementing youth education programs; for operating parks, nature centers, and natural areas; and for providing leadership in local natural resource conservation efforts. In fact, a short supply of dedicated and well-informed volunteers is often cited as a limiting factor for community-based conservation efforts.
