Top

Watershed Master's program is a series of workshops and fieldtrips sponsored every fall by Skagit County and the cities of Anacortes, Burlington, Mount Vernon, and Sedro-Woolley. Skagit County residents can attend at no cost to learn about Skagit County water resources from the snowcaps to the whitecaps. Evening workshops and Saturday fieldtrips cover forest and stream health, riparian and habitat planting and maintenance, climate impacts and solutions, salmon, estuaries, and shellfish resources, and more.
