Thank you to our supporters
Please consider shopping with the vendors who donated items to our silent auction in March! We really appreciate their support in our fundraising efforts and many of them are local businesses.
The money raised by the silent auction goes toward education and outreach opportunities within our community. It also helps pay for our speakers and provide scholarships for Master Naturalist trainees who may need financial assistance.
You can also provide financial support by donating through Amplify Austin at any time.

~Field Experiences~
We are planning the next Field Experience. Please stay tuned!
