Clark Public Utilities' StreamTeam sponsors the Stream Stewards program for Clark County residents interested in making a difference in the great outdoors.
Six Saturday sessions (8:30am - 2pm) and three Tuesday evening (6 - 8:30pm) workshops provide 45 hours of FREE hands-on leadership training on local natural history, native plants, stream restoration and wildlife. In return for the training, Stewards share their knowledge and leadership by providing 45 hours of volunteer time with the StreamTeam and other program partners within one year.
Trained Stewards support the StreamTeam's salmon saving efforts by providing school presentations, leading tree planting groups, combatting invasive knotweed and more. Stewards are able to identify opportunities that fit their interests and abilities.
While we would love for everyone to attend, space is limited, so visit http://www.streamstewards.net/ or contact our StreamTeam Coordinator at 360-992-8585 for an application. Classes start in September; apply today!
