– “Nisqually Stream Stewards – Now Recruiting 2016 Class Participants!”
“Nisqually Stream Stewards is a program of the Nisqually River Council and Nisqually Indian Tribe’s Natural Resources Department that trains participants to be effective citizen scientists. The class introduces participants to a network of natural resources professionals in the South Puget Sound region and promotes community engagement through hands-on learning.
Participants receive 40 hours of class time, which includes field experiences at Mount Rainier National Park, UW Pack Forest, the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and many other locations. In exchange, participants commit to giving 40 hours of volunteer time in the Nisqually over the next year.”
“The Nisqually Stream Stewards class is free, but limited to the first 30 participants. It is open to people of all ages and abilities, especially those wanting to learn more about their communities, meet new people, and become a more effective volunteer for the watershed. However, those under 16 should plan to attend with an adult chaperone.
Classes are held on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings beginning July 26, 2016 and continuing through September 24, 2016,” quoting the Nisqually River Council & Nisqually Indian Tribe.
