The Indiana Master Naturalist (IMN) Program can provide you with many hands-on opportunities to learn about our Hoosier natural resources. It also provides a way for you to share that knowledge, along with your life experiences, through volunteer service to land trusts, soil and water conservation districts, state and local parks, or other natural resource and conservation agencies.

The purpose of IMN includes:

  • Provide an introduction to Hoosier natural resources through the eyes of resource professionals and experts in the field

  • Provide an educational opportunity to individuals 18 years or older

  • Provide an opportunity for course participants to establish a short or long-term partnership with a natural resources agency or local organization involved in natural resource management by volunteering as a part of the course

The Johnson County Indiana Master Naturalist course runs from March to October on the second Thursday of each month from 6-9pm. The class is hosted by Johnson County Soil & Water Conservation District.
