Your Help is Needed

For more than 15 years Master Naturalists have provided educational field trips on City of Fort Collins natural areas for school groups, clubs, scouts, seniors, newcomers, and more. Master Naturalist Assistants (MNAs) go along and help out with props, equipment, handouts, and evaluations.



Becoming an MNA is a great way to take an active role and make a difference in the community. It’s also a great way to learn about local natural history and explore the natural areas with other interested volunteers. MNA volunteer opportunities are many and varied and designed to fit all schedules.
