Professional Fellowship Naturalist

Eagle Bluff has trained naturalists and educators since 1997. As one of 12 participants in the fellowship, naturalists develop teaching, interpretive, and public relations techniques, plus many other skills related to residential environmental education. Participants are exposed to a wide variety of audiences and classes during the course. They learn by doing, that is, through direct teaching experience, guided by staff support, professional workshops, and a series of evaluations throughout the nine-month period.
