Transition Habitat Conservancy is a proud partner of the University of California’s Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR). This statewide network of over 70 partners works to promote environmental literacy and stewardship through discovery and action. To become a certified California Naturalist, participants need to enroll in and complete a 40+ hour course. The UC Environmental Stewards program gives Californians the knowledge, skills, and network to help protect and preserve our unique and diverse wildlife, habitats and increase ecosystem and community resilience.

Transition Habitat Conservancy strives to provide education about the fragile and inspirational nature of our desert plants, animals, and ecosystems to connect people to nature. We are also proud to be the first and only UCANR partner to offer a Mojave Desert-specific California Naturalist Course and are offering this course for the first time in 2025.

This course will be offered in Spring of 2025 to anyone 18 years of age or older who is interested in learning about their environment. No previous experience is required.
