Master Watershed Steward Program
The Master Watershed Steward Program provides education to citizens to equip them to serve
their communities in enchancing local natural resources. The program consists
of a series of educational sessions, several of which are field trips.
Some of the topics covered in the program are:
- geology
- climate
- watershed and stream processes
- soils and erosion
- vegetation and wildlife, and
- water related issues.
After completing 50 hours of course and fieldwork, participants receive an Associate Watershed Steward certificate. Following this, participants are expected to volunteer 40 hours on a watershed enhancement project in their community or on their own land to apply the information and skills received from the program. Projects may included on-the-ground enhancement activities, monitoring, survey or assessment, community education, curriculum development or create your own!
