2025 Weekend Warrior Master Naturalist Training

Swan Valley Connections (SVC) is committed to increasing representation of people of all identities and backgrounds in conservation and outdoor education. SVC seeks to remove barriers from participating in our programs by prioritizing scholarships for underrepresented and underserved communities. Scholarships ranging from 25% to 100% of total tuition cost are available.

The Montana Master Naturalist Program is designed for adults who want to stoke their curiosity, deepen their knowledge of the natural world, and give back to their communities in new ways.

We hope that participants will not only build the skills to interpret Montana’s flora, fauna, and landscape, but that they will also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world, and therefore become better stewards of it. This program is an excellent certification for those looking to pursue a career in environmental education or interpretive guiding, or those just looking to enhance their connection to place.
