HEARTWOOD CHAPTER

Texas Master Naturalist
Heartwood Chapter

Annual Dues - $25.00

Each January the Texas Master Naturalist members are required to pay the annual chapter dues to maintain their active status. Since we are a non-profit organization, your dues are tax deductible.

Since 2005, the Texas Master Naturalist Heartwood Chapter has been organizing and training volunteers to assist the nature centers, nature sites, and wildlife organizations in and around Montgomery County, Texas -situated in the Pineywoods ecosystem.

Our volunteers are your friends and neighbors who are inspired by nature! They want to share what they learn about the natural habitat of the Texas Pineywoods. They want to observe, record, and maintain the wonders of nature found in the habitat where we all live, work, and play.

Have you seen the Heartwood Chapter video, produced by Ken Kramm and starring our own Texas Master Naturalist Heartwood members? Film now showing in the About Us section>>

Read what our member's have to say about their volunteer experience...

lcurtx says I am looking forward to learning new things in the year 2011. Last year, I was very excited as I learned more than I thought I could ever know about Monarch butterflies. As I have learned more about the Monarch butterfly, I'm finding it is so much more than just the butterfly. Monarch butterflies involve learning about botany, biology, ecology, and many more logies...Even, you start to think that you need to learn a little Spanish, History, Geography, Economics and even people. As 2011 approaches, I plan on learning even more this year.---Linda
