Training is designed for all ages.
SOS maintains a nationwide computer database of roughly 4,000 projects through which groups can coordinate their efforts with others. A typical hotline call might be a water watch group wanting to know techniques and plant types for restoring grass beds, plants that work well in sandy soils, and techniques for planting on steep slopes where the bank can not be graded. Save Our Streams is able to refer the caller to projects across the nation who have tackled and solved similar issues. SOS encourages local groups to partner with federal and state agencies and private sector sponsors to bring costs down. The typical SOS workshop lasts 1 to 2 days and covers materials developed by SOS and others.
