 Welcome.......to the Capital Area Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists (CAMN).
Members of CAMN are dedicated to the conservation, preservation, and restoration of our natural resources. To that end, we encourage and support trained Master Naturalist volunteers in Austin and Travis County in providing community programs and projects that increase appreciation of our natural environment and promote, protect, and preserve native flora and fauna.
Our Mission.......
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.
The CAMN program is committed to providing instruction and volunteer opportunities to adults who wish to learn about and demonstrate the principles of sustainable use, conservation, and maintenance of our natural resources. This program is presented through a collaborative effort of professionals from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, City of Austin Parks and Recreation/Preserves, Austin Nature Center, Lone Star Chapter Sierra Club, Lower Colorado River Authority, Travis County Parks, and the Texas Cooperative Extension Service as well as past students of the Master Naturalist Program. CAMN is a chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist program, a statewide organization sponsored jointly by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas Cooperative Extension Service.
Meetings.......
Monthly Chapter Meetings, which are open to the public, are held at the Austin Nature Center. Our meetings are usually held on last Wednesday of the each month at 6:30p.m. Check our home page for current meeting schedule.
