Do you enjoy the great outdoors? Are you interested in local history and our native plants and wildlife? Then become a Stream Steward! It’s fun and FREE! Clark Public Utilities‘ StreamTeam sponsors the Stream Stewards program for those interested in making a difference in the great outdoors.
The Stream Stewards program is offered over three Tuesday evenings (6-8:30 pm) and six Saturdays (8:30 am -2 pm) starting in September providing 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 classes are FREE, space is limited; so please visit Stream Stewards at Clark Public Utilities for more information, or click here for an application. You can also call the Stream Steward Coordinator at 360-992-8585.
