Come learn about our Wild and Wonderful as fall unfolds – with Greenbrier Master Naturalists! No experience is necessary to get involved, just a curiosity about our great outdoors. All programs are held at Wood Thrush Park (334 Richland Ln) near Lewisburg, unless noted otherwise. Individual programs are free.

Master Naturalists is a statewide program overseen by the WV DNR, with volunteer chapters hosted around the state. Appalachian Headwaters sponsors the local Greenbrier chapter. To learn more about the Master Naturalists program, visit www.mnofwv.org.
