Space Coast Regional Friends Group
We are a group of graduates of the Florida Master Naturalist Program working to promote conservation through education in our communities. We are looking for members from any Florida county who want to continue their environmental education activities and outreach with fellow Naturalists. Graduates of one FMNP course module are eligible to become members of the Space Coast Regional Friends Group (SCRFG).
Current committees that you can become involved with are: Friends Activities and Events, Education and Outreach, Awards and Recognition, Membership, and Fundraising.
Scholarships
The Space Coast Regional Friends Group Scholarship Program is open to SCRFG members and non-members who are interested in taking another FMNP module, or their first. They are looking to deepen their knowledge and expand their field of experience across the many Florida ecosystems taught through the FMNP and are seeking financial assistance. Scholarships are awarded annually through the Awards and Recognition Committee and Board process, and announced at the SCRFG Annual Meeting. Applications for the scholarship can be submitted between January 1st and September 30th. Please complete the online SCRFG Scholarship Application. The recipient of the scholarship award will have one year from the date of the award to enroll in an FMNP module of their choice. Please read the SCRFG scholarship outline for rules and instructions before applying. If you have questions, please contact us at scrfg@spacecoastmasternaturalists.org.Become a Member
