CES facilitates the Florida Master Naturalist Program (FMNP) that is offered once a week for six-weeks at the Riverwoods Field Laboratory on the Kissimmee River in Highlands County. Students learn about Florida's wetland or upland ecosystems with a combination of classroom presentations and field trips to local habitats. Students must conduct a research project to earn their FMNP certificate and patches. Graduates are very proud to take their new-found environmental knowledge into the field as they explore Florida's fabulous ecosystems.

CES offers the FMNP course every fall, so check back here this spring for fall 2010 dates and agendas.
