TEXAS MASTER NATURALIST: A statewide program where 
volunteers learn about and share the wonders of nature… 
on Passport to Texas. 

This is Passport to Texas

The Texas Master Naturalist program trains volunteers in 
all aspects of the Texas environment where they live. 

11— All the way from the plants and why they’re named what 
they’re named in their local ecosystem, to the birds and the 
mammals and the fish and the invertebrates and everything. 

Mary Pearl Meuth (MOYT) works for Texas AgriLife 
extension and is program coordinator for Texas Master 
Naturalists.

15— They [volunteers] are encouraged to share their 
knowledge, either through events with other local classrooms 
and youth education programs, working and volunteering at 
state parks or nature centers and natural areas.

Texas’ Master Naturalist Chapters train volunteers in the 
specifics of their local ecosystems once they’ve learned 
the universal basics.

18—Master Naturalists join the program because they’re 
excited about the environmental world in which we live and the 
diversity of Texas, which is just incredible. And, once they join, 
then they can give back to their community that needs tht 
resource.

To remain in the program, volunteers agree to 40 hours 
of community outreach and eight hours of advanced 
training annually. Learn more at txmn.org.
