The Anne Arundel Department of Public Works and Arlington Echo have joined forces to create the Watershed Stewards Academy. This program is intended to "train community leaders...to reduce the negative impacts of stormwater runoff in Anne Arundel County." Participants go through 12 training courses over the course of 5 months that culminates in a community Capstone Project. Most classes take place locally at Arlington Echo. Once completed the certification, participants will be qualified as Master Watershed Stewards and will serve as a resource to the community at large as to how to keep our waterways clean and protected. If this interests you, there are only two more informational sessions left (one is tommorow) which you must attend one of in order to register for this program.
Even if you are not interested in becoming a Master Watershed Steward, you can certainly use the resources of those who already have completed the certification. Use the website below to find and contact local stewards. They can talk to you on subjects such as Reducing Pollution, Capturing Stormwater, Cleaning up invasive species, and Land Preservation.
What can you do to protect our waterways today?
