Many of our Texas Master Naturalist chapters are getting ready for a new crop of volunteers to join the TMN program! As the fall training season comes to an end and the winter/spring training season kicks off, we would like to share these classes through our statewide press channels. We encourage each chapter to utilize their local press, marketing avenues and the handiest recruiting tool of all – word of mouth!
Our TMN state office is gathering the following information to post to our website and share with an agency news release announcing upcoming winter/spring 2021 trainings. Please only reply if your chapter has an upcoming training that starts after November, 2020.
