+abstract: 'Amateur naturalists have played an important role in the study and
+
+  conservation of nature since the 17th century. Today, naturalist groups
+
+  make important contributions to bridge the gap between conservation
+
+  science and practice around the world. We examined data from 2 regional
+
+  naturalist programs to understand participant motivations, barriers, and
+
+  perspectives as well as the actions they take to advance science,
+
+  stewardship, and community engagement. These programs provide
+
+  certification-based natural history and conservation science training
+
+  for adults that is followed by volunteer service in citizen science,
+
+  education, and stewardship. Studies in California and Virginia include
+
+  quantitative and qualitative evaluation data collected through pre- and
+
+  postcourse surveys, interviews, and long-term tracking of volunteer
+
+  hours. Motivations of participants focused on learning about the local
+
+  environment and plants and animals, connecting with nature, becoming
+
+  certified, and spending time with people who have similar interests.
+
+  Over half the participants surveyed were over 50 years old, two-thirds
+
+  were women, and a majority reported household incomes of over \$50,000
+
+  (60\% in California, 85\% in Virginia), and <20\% of those surveyed in
+
+  both states described themselves as nonwhite. Thus, these programs need
+
+  to improve participation by a wider spectrum of the public. We
+
+  interviewed younger and underrepresented adults to examine barriers to
+
+  participation in citizen science. The primary barrier was lack of time
+
+  due to the need to work and focus on career advancement. Survey data
+
+  revealed that participants'' ecological knowledge, scientific skills, and
+
+  belief in their ability to address environmental issues increased after
+
+  training. Documented conservation actions taken by the participants
+
+  include invasive plant management, habitat restoration, and cleanups of
+
+  natural areas and streams. Long-term data from Virginia on volunteer
+
+  hours dedicated to environmental citizen science show an increase from
+
+  14\% in 2007 to 32\% in 2014. In general, participants in the naturalist
+
+  programs we examined increased their content knowledge about ecosystems,
+
+  had greater confidence in conserving them, and continued to engage as
+
+  citizen scientists after completing the program.'
