A group of dedicated environmentalists here in DeKalb County are launching a field trip and lecture program with diversity and inclusion as a core value. On February 19, the DeKalb Beloved Naturalists (DBN) will kick off its inaugural class and you are invited to be part of it!
For nine months the DBN will take adventures into natural spaces, taught by veteran scientists, giving the initial members new ways to see DeKalb County's forests, birds, geology and watersheds. This program will introduce sound scientific information in a hands-on, interactive manner and will increase awareness of the disproportionate environmental risks faced by various communities in DeKalb County and beyond.

|
Ranger Jonah is on the founding committee and DBN was created in partnership with DeKalb County, the Amphibian Foundation, Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance, Awali Agricultural Center, Chattahoochee Nature Center, Georgia Audubon, South Fork Conservancy, Emory University, and the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance.
You are invited to register for this program HERE. Tuition for the 9-month program is $500 and scholarships are available. Check out the curriculum below and please help us spread the word!
