California Naturalist Wilbur Hot Springs Resort Immersion Course with Tuleyome
About the Event
Tuleyome’s Certified California Naturalist (CalNat) program trains members of the public to become California Naturalists! No advanced degree or previous naturalist experience is required – Tuleyome teaches you everything you need to know to become certified. Our course is focused on the northern inner Coast Range mountains, specifically the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument region.
Class meets everyday Sunday to Friday. Students stay at the resort as there are many early morning and evening field trips. This course covers the same material as the multi-week program but in a more condensed time frame.

Organization Description: Based in Woodland, California, Tuleyome was founded in 2002 as a volunteer advocacy-oriented nonprofit conservation organization. Their mission is: "Tuleyome engages in advocacy and active stewardship with diverse communities to conserve, enhance, restore, and enjoy the lands in the region."
Tuleyome “lives” their mission every day: they preserve and restore wild habitat, build and repair trails, educate the public about local conservation and environmental issues, engage young people through youth program, demonstrate a good “land stewardship” ethic by maintaining the easements and properties they own under the scope of our land trust component, and run campaigns that have a long lasting positive effect on the region. It is Tuleyome's hope that their work will inspire members of the public to protect, restore, and enjoy the natural landscape in the Northern Inner Coast Range.
