Ecological Landscapes of Southeast Wisconsin – Day 1 at RBSRA
New Format! Wisconsin Master Naturalist Training
The Bong Naturalist Association and the Friends of the Kettle Moraine State Forest – Southern Unit are joining forces to host this training highlighting two state properties. Our two friends’ organizations support the Richard Bong State Recreation Area (RBSRA) – located in Kenosha County and the Kettle Moraine State Forest – Southern Unit, near the southwest corner of Waukesha County.
Participate in six sessions on public lands where you will gain essential resources, practical knowledge, and a strong community network to amplify your effectiveness as a dedicated land steward, inspiring educator, or active citizen scientist. Each session will include guest speakers, indoor instruction, and outdoor field experiences.
The first three days of training will be held at RBSRA and the second three days of training will be held at the Kettle Moraine State Forest – Southern Unit. The two locations will provide a unique blend of habitats, species, and outdoor experiences that will fuel your interest in the natural world.
