New members have a lot of fun learning about everything from rocks to plants and animals found in the Ozarks. Experts teach classes in eco-regions, geology, astronomy, mammals, interpretation, entomology, herpetology, ornithology and botany. Field work helps develop practical skills like stream monitoring and trail maintenance. Students receive their own guidebooks in many fields.

But there are no exams. We learn by listening, observing and doing. We also schedule special advanced training classes in various topics for all members throughout the year.
