Louisiana Master Naturalists – Northeast requires a minimum of 10 hours of continuing education annually to maintain active status as a certified member.
Continuing Education after our certification is very important as it deepens our understanding of Louisiana’s natural history, refreshes our knowledge and strengthens our ability to serve as a naturalist. We are life-long learners, driven by curiosity and love of nature. The better educated we are, the more valuable our contributions are likely to be. Attending repeat workshops consolidates and updates our learning and connects us with newer members facilitating mentorship.
Examples of Approved CE
- Enrolling in an LMN‑NE workshop or other LMN workshop after certification (5 hours credit).
- Attending the educational portion of a quarterly meeting (1 hour credit).
- Participating in Rendezvous workshops (1 hour credit per workshop).
- Participating in natural history lectures, workshops, webinars etc. from other recognized groups such as: Louisiana Amphibian and Reptile Enthusiasts, Louisiana Ornithological Society, Friends of Black Bayou, Gulf South Mycological Society , The Louisiana Native Plant Society , Briarwood Nature Preserve , etc.
- The research portion of creating your own educational event or material for our chapter’s use could also qualify, just as the delivery might qualify as volunteer hours. Please run your plans via one of our LMN-NE officers
If you are ever in doubt about a continuing education opportunity please reach out to an LMN-NE officer. Thank you.
