California Naturalist Certification Program

Would you like to learn about the amazing and unique ecology of California? If so, become a certified California Naturalist!

Students receive University of California certification as a California Naturalist after completing 40-hours of hands-on training with expert instructors and fellow learners- studying natural history, environmental interpretation, and conservation stewardship. Course instructors are local field experts and scientists selected from organizations working directly with our local natural resources such as the Bureau of Land Management, California State University- Monterey Bay, and the Center for Natural Lands Management.

The certification classes will be held at the Pacific Grove Museum every Wednesday from 6- 8:30pm from April 18th to June 27th. There will also be three Saturday field trips, the dates of which are to be determined. The cost of the course is $340, including materials. Pacific Grove Museum volunteers who have logged more than 25 hours before the start of the course will be able to register at a reduced rate of $150.

To register for the California Naturalist program, please contact Ann Wasser at (831) 648-5716 ext 14 or limpets@pgmuseum.org.

Pacific Grove's Chinese Fishing Village

The Museum’s special exhibition on the Pacific Grove Chinese Fishing Village is again being extended due to popular demand. The special exhibition was made possible thanks to the expertise and generosity of Michael E. Croft. Mr. Croft used historic photographs to recreate the Chinese Fishing Village model. The special exhibition includes this model accompanied by panels describing the history of the Chinese Fishing Village, developed by CSUMB Museum Studies intern Marisa Mercado.
