Wednesday, November 2 – Arkansas Master Naturalist Tom Nowlin
The Education Center will host Tom Nowlin, founding member of the Foothills Chapter of the Arkansas Master Naturalists, who will present information on the partnership with Fairfield Bay and the 2017 Naturalist in Training program
Clinton resident and Arkansas Master Naturalist Tom Nowlin will discuss how the Master Naturalists organization supports the natural areas in our communities through volunteering with building and maintaining trails, leading interpretive hikes and talks, and restoring and maintaining wildlife habitats and observation areas. This event is FREE and open to the public.
Striving to strengthen their partnership with Fairfield Bay, they welcome new members into the Naturalists In Training program, a 40 hour course of approved training on Saturdays starting in January 2017 and continuing through early May. These classes are comprised of classroom lecture and field explorations lead by Master Naturalists with expertise in areas of biology, botany, geology, herpetology, and astronomy. The first scheduled class at the Education Center is in February 2017 with a presentation on ornithology and a guided tour of the eagle nests on Greer’s Ferry lake.
