Naturalists live in the midst of a global environmental crisis. Not surprisingly, new definitions are being forged for the ‘modern’ naturalist who must now take part in conserving the species and habitats he or she enjoys observing. They must take their knowledge of the natural world beyond just a personal interest and interpret it for the politicians and the public so that conservation may become a guiding principle rather than an afterthought.
We offer a variety of programming for the general public. If you’d like to get involved, please consider supporting us or becoming a member.
Join us for evening presentations on zoom! Once a month from September to November and January to May. Check the Events Calendar for details. Everyone welcome.
We hold coffee house gatherings once a month from October to May. Please check the Events Calendar for details.
We also host guided introductory nature walks. Those will be posted to the Events Calendar. Members get higher priority for attending these!
Consider becoming a member to receive the Valley Naturalist newsletter, get zoom links directly in your inbox, and higher priority for events.
