SCWF’s Executive Director, Sara Green, was recently honored by Clemson Extension’s SC Master Naturalist Program for her work since 2011 to coordinate and support the Midlands Master Naturalist Program.
South Carolina lost a legendary naturalist this week who introduced so many people to the amazing natural world around us through his work on television and radio, at the SC State Museum and the University of South Carolina, as well as countless nature walks with groups all over the state.
Congratulations to our newly minted class of Midlands Master Naturalists! We recently celebrated their achievement with a nature hike at Congaree National Park, where we saw the largest loblolly pine in the nation.
We have already had our first three Midlands Master Naturalist classes! This 12-week course is designed to teach identification skills, ecological concepts, and natural history of the plants, animals, and ecosystems encountered in the various locations in the midlands.
Congratulations to our graduates of the Midlands Master Naturalist Class of 2017!! Huge THANK YOU to Austin Jenkins for coordinating and teaching, and to the many partners, site hosts, and guest instructors who made this class possible
Junior Naturalists had a great time learning about owls & what they eat, dissecting owl pellets, and roasting marshmallows over the fire while we listened for owls.
