Class of 2007
The 2007 Master Naturalist/Watershed Stewards completed their classroom training on December 6th. This inquisitive and motivated group wrapped up their program with individual presentations on a diverse array of fascinating subjects. The festive atmosphere was enhanced by thoughtful questions and dialogue, great food, and much laughter. The next Master Naturalist/Watershed Steward program will begin in September 2008. Anyone who would like to learn more about Northern Arizona's natural resources (while having a lot of fun!) is welcome sign up early on the "interested" list! Contact warzecha@cals.arizona.edu
