Master Naturalists sign a Volunteer Appointment Agreement and abide by University of Maryland Extension policies by recording volunteer hours and contact demographic data. This log is the primary source of information we use to collect and enter volunteer and program participation data
into our database. The information you collect allows us to evaluate educational program outreach, report to our partners, and
ensure that our programs are reaching all the citizens of Maryland.
Participant contact data is to be collected in a discrete manner. In activities with large attendance such as talks and seminars, make
the best estimate you can. Identify participants as “unknown” (U) when you are in doubt as to race or ethnicity (MdMN abides by US OMB guidelines http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg_race-ethnicity/). When more than one Master Naturalist is involved in an event, please take care that all contacts are accounted for, and that the contact numbers are not duplicated on the logs of individual Master Naturalists.
