If interested, come check us out at the 2001 4-H White Water Rafting Program Orientation meeting on Saturday, May 5th at McIver State Park. For the third year, this popular program is being offered in Clackamas County. The Wildlife Stewards Programs trains and links volunteers with local school classrooms to assist students and teachers in the development and use of wildlife habitats on school grounds. Wildlife Steward volunteers work in teams with classrooms and small groups to do hands-on learning activities. They are involved in project planning, planting, and community outreach.
Volunteers receive forty hours of training for certification.
The training is interactive and includes native plant selection, habitat design, teaching skills educational resources, and more. Volunteers may pre-select the school they would like to work with or can ask to be placed with a classroom that requests their help. Currently we are looking for volunteers to help with schools in the Oregon City area beginning this fall. Specific dates have not yet been decided. Return to Top.
