The Florida Master Naturalist Program (FMNP) is an adult education program
developed by the University of Florida (UF) and provided by participating
organizations. FMNP training will benefit persons interested in learning
more about Florida’s environment, seeking educational contact hours, or
wishing to increase their knowledge for use in education programs as
volunteers, employees, and ecotourism guides. The program includes courses
in three subject areas – Freshwater Wetlands, Coastal Systems and Upland
Habitats.
In each Module you will learn through classroom, field trip, and
practical experience, and be provided instruction on the general ecology,
habitats, vegetation types, wildlife, and conservation issues of the
environments covered. The program also addresses societies role in natural areas,
develops naturalist interpretation skills, and discusses environmental
ethics.
Each module is a stand alone program and graduates of each program are
recognized (certificates of achievement, pins) as Coastal, Wetlands, or
Upland naturalists. Special recognition for completion of all three programs
will include a special Florida Master Naturalist certificate and pin.
