Rusty & Denise Crane, Rob & Sharon Snider
Texas Master Naturalists

Congratulations! New Certified Texas Master Naturalists

Port O’Connor area residents Denise and Rusty Crane and Sharon and Rob Snider successfully completed the initial training program and volunteer hour requirements to become certified Texas Master Naturalists.

The mission of the program is to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities for the state of Texas. What makes the work of a Master Naturalist so important is that they are not only individuals who love nature and offer their time but are also trained naturalists with specialized knowledge of local ecosystems, species, habitats, and environmental demands.

The Mid-Coast Chapter comprises of eight counties including Calhoun, Victoria, Jackson, Matagorda, Goliad, Refugio, Aransas and San Patricio. The initial training program consists 10 Saturday programs which provide hands-on experiences across the chapter’s counties. The next training will be offered in February 2019.
