The Program recruits, selects, trains and supports adult volunteers who are interested in teaching others about the basics of watersheds, wetlands, streams, water quality, forestry, native plants, wildlife and other natural resource topics.
Training is free, but each volunteer agrees to perform educational service.
Currently 200 active stewards have logged over 10,000 volunteer hours on a variety of natural resource education projects. For an example of one of those projects, read about the volunteer efforts of Dalice Snider below. She involved groups, local citizens, Scouts, elementary and middle school children and their families in the planting of 750 trees and shrubs for habitat and shade along Green River and Soos Creek. A tour of Soos Creek Fish Hatchery was part of the day's activities. By planting trees I feel like I did something good for the future.
