Master Volunteer Entomology Advanced Training will be held virtually via Zoom.

All sessions will be recorded and posted for participants and will be available here for one year after the course concludes.

The class covers over 30 hours of entomological subjects.

There is a certification option for for-credit registrants after completing classwork.

• Master Volunteers must complete 20 entomology-focused volunteer hours.
• For-credit participants will receive two field guides and a hand lens.

Here is the printable program agenda for your convenience.

The class fills up quickly, so if you want to take it this year, I encourage you to sign up soon.  I (Wizzie Brown) am leading the class this year; if you want to take it when Molly Keck is the lead, you should wait until next year.  You can see the program agenda by clicking a link on the registration page.

You MUST be a CERTIFIED master gardener and/ or master naturalist to sign up for the course.

Class is VIRTUAL.

All classes will be recorded and posted for class participant viewing.  Recording links should not be shared with others not in the class.  Class can provide Advanced Training Hours, but how many hours are given and if you need to attend sessions live is up to your local advisors (so check with them for that information).

Thanks!
