Promoting awareness and citizen stewardship

Coastal Master Naturalists Association

About Us

We are an enthusiastic group of lifelong learners who love acquiring and sharing knowledge about all of the environments of the Lowcountry.

The Coastal Master Naturalist Association promotes awareness and citizen stewardship for South Carolina’s natural resources through science-based education and community service. Our members have either completed Master Naturalist Training through the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission or transferred from other chapters.
