EXPAND!: By Unit.
The EXPAND! section of each unit includes items you can use, do, pursue, read, or join to develop as a naturalist. Specifically, we have paired our suggestions down to one entry for your journal, two books to track down at the library, two web sites to find on the internet, and two groups to join. This means that by the end of the Pennsylvania Master Naturalist course, you might have completed the first few chapters of your own Sand County Almanac, overloaded your bookshelf with at least a dozen books you may want to read, captured too many bookmarks in your web browser to do justice, and learned about more than a dozen worthwhile environmental organizations.
