The Louisiana Master Naturalists of Greater New Orleans
 are a community of citizens who engage with the natural environment through education & stewardship.

​During the Covid-19 pandemic we are hosting a series of online seminars. The schedule and videos of prior seminars are on the Seminars page. 

Become a Certified Master Naturalist

The LMN Certification Program is offered each Fall and Spring.  This certification connects you with a diverse knowledge base in Louisiana natural history by offering academic lectures and in-the-field workshops taught by experts in the disciplines of ecology, biology, geomorphology, and resource management.  The Master Naturalist Program enables participants to learn about the nature of Louisiana's varied physiographic regions, its flora and fauna, and connections between our valued environment, culture, and economy.  For more information, click here. 

Accepting applications for the wait list for spring 2021 and accepting applications for fall 2021
​
​All workshops are field-based lectures held outdoors and we encourage participants to wear masks when interacting with classmates. We are working to make this experience enjoyable and educational while maintaining social distancing guidelines through use of audio equipment and recorded online lectures.
