Registration and payment: Link TBD
Once you complete your registration, you will be given a link to a payment survey. PLEASE NOTE that your attendance is tentative until we receive payment.
Training organizers: The training team includes UC Environmental Stewards staff, with support from experienced program instructors and local experts.
Asynchronous materials: Prior to each class session registrants will receive materials for asynchronous review. To maximize our meeting time, we have prepared these materials with essential information about the California Naturalist and Climate Stewards programs. These materials will be referenced throughout the face to face sessions, so please be sure to review and complete all assignments.
Additionally, we recommend participants become familiar with the UC Environmental Stewards website and the UC California Naturalist Handbook and the UC Climate Stewards Handbook that serve as textbooks for the programs, respectively. The Handbook is not included in the workshop cost. Use code UCPSAVE30 when purchasing either book from UC Press to receive 30% off.
A sample agenda will be sent out before the event.
