Programa de Capacitación para Voluntarios Watershed Masters
¿Está interesado en conocer nuevos amigos, aprender de expertos locales sobre las maravillas de la cuenca del río Skagit y participar en proyectos comunitarios significativos? El programa Watershed Masters está destinado a residentes de la comunidad, mayores de 17 años, que aspiran a aumentar sus conocimientos sobre las cuencas hidrográficas locales, la calidad del agua y la ecología de playas y arroyos. Los participantes asisten a 8 sesiones nocturnas y 3 excursiones de campo los sábados. El propósito del programa es aumentar la conciencia pública sobre una variedad de problemas y soluciones de calidad del agua e inspirar la administración comunitaria con respecto a la calidad del agua.
A big shout out to our 2023 Watershed Masters who completed our 2023 workshops with enthusiasm.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Thanks for making this year great!
During our 6 classroom evening sessions, 3 field trips, and 1 music festival, this year’s group learned about our local shellfish resources, invasive “Green” crab identification, and the various life cycles and habitat needs of our local salmon populations. They got the latest information on the climate change impacts and solutions on water quality and riparian planting as well as the importance of estuaries, forests, and beavers. Our final session was on Low Impact Development techniques that benefit all of us, which everyone seemed eager to start implementing.
These workshops were so awesome that we’re planning to do it again next fall.
I hope to see you then!
An investment in the land is an investment in the future.
