OSU Extension Adams County wrapped up the Spring 2026 Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist course. We want to thank the participants, state specialists, volunteers, and local naturalists who helped make this program a huge success! Our participants spent over 40 hours of combined classroom and field instruction learning about ecological concepts, aquatic life, geology, soils, botany, forests, insects, birds, mammals, reptiles & amphibians, and climate & weather. An Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist is an individual with a passion for the natural world who wishes to attend training and use his or her knowledge by giving back to the community through volunteer service. We look forward to seeing the great work this group will bring to our community.
