A master naturalist class exploring Jupiter Ridge Natural Area in Palm Beach County.
We're reviving our outdoor calendar and looking for classes, seminars, outdoor events — swamp tromps, hikes, clean-ups, tours, webinars, zoom meetings, job openings and volunteer opportunities — anything with a nature-oriented or environmental bent to it that's open to the public. The event can be for professionals or the public at large but it should be open to anyone. Events can be of local, state or national interest. Posts are free. Please include a link to the event; send by email here. Please allow a minium of two weeks notice, but the more time in advance the better.
