I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. August and September are looking pretty busy! We’ll be starting a new season of Stream Steward classes on September 22nd, so it’s time to fill out those applications. The program is designed to provide environmental education on the fundamentals of local ecology and natural history in return for volunteer service. Check out our website for more information.
I’ve also included some volunteer opportunities with StreamTeam. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks!
