UC Berkeley Sagehen Creek Field Station
Course Description
California Naturalist training will introduce you to the wonders of our unique ecology and engage you in the stewardship of California’s natural communities. The courses will utilize a combination of science curriculum, guest lecturers, field trips and project-based learning to immerse you in the natural world of the Northern Sierras and Lake Tahoe Basin.
Through this weeklong immersive course, participants will develop their ability to observe nature and will learn tools to improve these skills. In addition, participants will improve their communication skills by sharing knowledge with other participants and by working on a capstone project. Upon completing certification requirements, participants are eligible for four academic credits through UC Davis Extension for an additional nominal fee.
