Each program we hold with youth, is run by a volunteer Natural Resource Professional in tandem with Eagle Eye Champions and Staff. Natural Resource Professionals come from a variety of backgrounds from Environmental Educators to Conservationists and Forestry Workers.

What is a Natural Resource Professional?

By offering hands-on exploratory activities and demonstrating the use of scientific knowledge and skill to better understand and care for the land, natural resource professionals promote personal growth and career opportunities for Eagle Eye’s youth participants. These dedicated individuals bring their expertise and field knowledge to programs and provide quality instruction to urban youth.

Anyone who aligns with our Learn about Forests mission! A Natural Resource Professional Instructor can be anyone who believes in the mission to provide hands-on, exploratory learning on forest-related environmental topics for underserved urban youth.
