The Chapter

Mid-Coast Texas Master Naturalist

Who Are We? Volunteers who have received 40-plus hours of customized, in-depth training focused on our own local wildlife, native plants, & natural resources. In addition, we pursue advanced training each year in topics of personal interest. How Do We Use that Training? We volunteer at least 40 hours a year to our local communities in education & resource management activities we love. Where Are We? We work & play in Aransas, Calhoun, Goliad, Jackson, Matagorda, Refugio, San Patricio, & Victoria Counties – The Mid-Coast Chapter area.
