TO BE PLACED ON THE NOTIFICATION LIST:  If you are interested in Louisiana Master Naturalists, but not ready to commit, we will be glad to place you on the email notification list.  Just email a request to LaMasterNatGNO@gmail.com.  You will receive an acknowledgement when your address and name are added.   

If you have filed an application, it is NOT necessary to be placed on the notification list.

An announcement will be sent to the notification list members periodically announcing courses and other events.  Otherwise, watch this space for updates.

APPLICATION PROCESS - STEPS TO FOLLOW:  

First, download an application by clicking ​HERE.  When filled out, follow the instructions about submitting the application.  THEN AND ONLY THEN ARE YOU IN LINE TO BECOME ENROLLED IN A CLASS.  Note that fall workshops are taught on Friday (one set of workshops in Grand Isle are on a Friday & Saturday); spring workshops are on Saturday (again, one set of workshops in Grand Isle are on Friday & Saturday).

SPACES ARE LIMITED, AND TIME OF RECEIPT OF THE COMPLETED APPLICATION IS AN IMPORTANT CRITERION FOR THE SELECTION PROCESS. NOTE:  You are NOT in the course unless you have been notified and given a course assignment.  If this has not happened, email us a LaMasterNatGNO@gmail.com and ask for information about your status.

NOTE:  WE ARE NOW ASSIGNING APPLICANTS TO SPRING & Fall 2018.  DON'T LET THIS DISCOURAGE YOU.  GET YOUR NAME IN A COURSE - IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!!!  ALSO, IF OTHERS DROP OUT, YOU MAY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE TO AN EARLIER COURSE. 

On the application, you will be asked to specify your choice between fall or spring (or both).  You will be officially placed in the best-fit available upcoming class that has spaces open.  We encourage you to ask to be placed on a waiting list for an earlier course, if you wish.  That way you are in the queue for workshops, with an opportunity to move to an earlier position if there is an opening.

Apply as soon as possible, because the courses have been filling up well before the deadline.  We make every effort to offer you a couple of options when you apply.


WHEN WILL YOU BE NOTIFIED?

Applicants who are selected for a course will be notified as soon as he/she receives placement.  Watch your email for notification and instructions.  IF YOU DON'T RESPOND TO EMAILS ABOUT PLACEMENT, WE WILL HAVE TO MOVE TO THE NEXT PERSON.

We are keeping the group to about 25 people, so we unfortunately can’t accept everyone.  We do hope you persist as we go through these early years with high demand.
