Interested in the Environment? Become a Bellevue Master Naturalist!

Do you have a passion for the environment and your Bellevue parks? Applications are being accepted until November 30^th for a FREE Bellevue Parks & Community Services Master Naturalist training program – designed to build a group of dedicated community volunteers trained in environmental awareness and stewardship.

Bellevue Master Naturalists learn about our area’s ecology, geology, wildlife, plant life, cultural history, wetlands, forests, and streams from professors, local professionals, scientists, research assistants, and park rangers. Master Naturalists will focus on restoration and conservation efforts, and will help share this passion by working with and educating their community.

Over the course of this 11-week training program, volunteers will meet with experts in lecture, workshop, and field-trip settings to cover various ecological topics. The program is free with a volunteer commitment of 100 hours of service to Bellevue’s Parks Department.
