Join the Southwest Louisiana Master Naturalists this Spring!
I'm the president of the Southwest Louisiana Master Naturalists, so this holiday season is the time I spread the word about the upcoming 4th annual Southwest Louisiana Master Naturalist Program! The course will consist of 12 six hour workshops focused on different taxa, SWLA habitats, and naturalist skills. Most workshops will take place in the Lake Charles area and are pretty much 50/50 lecture/field. The course is open to anyone 18 years or older who's interested in learning about nature. Apply today!
So far, Southwest Louisiana Master Naturalists have contributed over 7,000 observations of almost 2,000 species to iNaturalist and we're continuing to grow in number and impact!
I've tagged the prominent iNat observers in SWLA. Please consider joining us for the course and let your friends know about us! I hear the course makes a great holiday gift that keeps giving!

When do the classes begin?
@feistyone, classes start on February 2.
I'm actually doing the master naturalist program with the northwest Louisiana chapter. I really recommend the program!
@ilouque Thanks! Oh, I forgot to ask...When is the deadline to apply?
We'll be accepting applications until we have 20 students or January 26 (I think).
Awesome thanks!
Spectacular! Love seeing all of the good observations out of Louisiana — hope the new batch of master naturalists will utilize iNat in some of the trainings! :)
Yes, join the club!
@ilouque Y’all still have some openings left?
@feistyone, yep!
Cool, thanks!
@ilouque I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be too join this go round. My daughter is having major surgery on February 5th, and I'll be needed at home. Are classes only offered once per year?
Yeah, once per year. No problem! Hopefully you can join us in the future. We'll be looking to host a few public events in conjunction with the City Nature Challenge on April 26-29. so maybe you can come out to some of those!
Okay, I kind of figured, just making sure. I definitely plan to join. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to participate then. I look forward to it. Thanks again!
