The Master Naturalist Program has run 6 years in Helena, led by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the Montana Discovery Foundation, our partners the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, Montana Land Reliance, Montana Natural Heritage Program, Montana Native Plant Society, and Helena Garden Club have made the course a great success. Traditionally, we have spent a week using public lands as our classroom – learning about plants, animals and the interrelated ecology between.

Beginning Fall 2023, we are offering a series of Master Naturalist Workshops on a variety of topics. Our registration site is the best place to find updated information about evening and all-day workshops.

Montana Master Naturalist certification is provided through the Montana Natural History Center, and we are recognized as a certifying provider.
