CalNat is proud to announce that we received the Program of the Year Award at the Alliance of Natural Resource Outreach and Service Programs annual national meeting. Considering the company we keep in that fine organization and the relative infancy of the California Naturalist Program, we are quite honored to share this award with our naturalists, our many partners, and our colleagues at UC Agriculture & Natural Resources that make our community so vibrant!
