Virginia Master Naturalist Program Banshee Reeks Chapter
Virginia Master Naturalist Program The Banshee Reeks Chapter has designed a curriculum consisting of fifteen sessions, with time split between the classroom and field studies/trips. Sessions run from September to May of each year. Classes are limited to 30 students. Cost of the total program is $200/person and includes all of the course materials. Classes are open to anyone 18 years or older at the date of the orientation class.
Participants are expected to cover all the material of the course. If a student misses a class, they are expected to make up the work within one year from the completion of the session. This can be done either by attending the missed class during the next session or by offering evidence of having covered the topics of the missed class in an Advanced Training class or training given by an outside provider.
This year's classroom lectures will be held in the Education Annex at Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve. The majority of classes will be split between lecture and field work, and will generally be held on Saturdays, from 9 am to 3 pm., at Banshee Reeks, Rust Nature Sanctuary, or other local natural resource areas.
Following is a tentative list of class dates for the Fall 2008 to Spring 2009 class.
