Certification Programs from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science

We have received the following information about special "certification" programs through which the Denver Museum of Nature and Science trains Citizen Scientists to work alongside professionals:

Paleontology Certification Program
Interested in becoming certified to work in our paleontology lab or collect with a group of fellow enthusiasts on a Museum dig? Or how about simply learning more about paleontology? Courses taught by Museum curators and associates are available to adults, ages 17 and older. For more information on our Paleontology Certification Program, call 303-370-6489 or e-mail Liz Davis at ldavis@dmnh.org

Naturalist Certification Program
The departments of Zoology and Adult Programs are pleased to offer a Naturalist Certification Program to adults, age 17 or older, who wish to learn more about natural history, ecology, and evolutionary biology. A basic certification may be something you¹d like to pursue for personal enrichment‹to expand your knowledge of the natural world. A specialized certificate may qualify you to join the department of zoology staff in the field, with museum research or to help lead interpretive tours. Current zoological research appeals to diverse interests, ranging from the first state-wide survey of Colorado¹s spiders to the conservation of bighorn sheep. For more information, email ldavis@dmns.org or call (303) 370-8286.

For more information, go to http://www.dmns.org/paleon.htm or http://www.dmns.org/spiders1.htm to learn about the DMNS spider survey, which also uses amateurs.
