For the second year, University of Illinois Extension in La Salle County is offering its Master Naturalist Program, beginning Wednesday, Aug. 12. Classes will be 5-8 p.m. each Wednesday, and field trips will be on some Saturdays. The last scheduled class is Oct. 28.“We will be starting next Wednesday with a botany lesson at Illinois Valley Community College and have a good variety of topics and a great bunch of instructors,” Malinsky said. “Last year’s class was a big hit and the participants had some great experiences and made some new friends with similar interests.”
There is still room for more people to sign up, he said. The cost is $250 and includes books and handouts.Upon completion of class and field work, students volunteer 30 hours per year in a variety of projects to earn certification as Master Naturalists.The program was offered last year for the first time and had 31 students.
