Registration Open for Urban Watershed Mentors Training

Interested in attending in depth trainings on conservation planning and implementing a restoration plan with your new knowledge?  Become an Urban Watershed Mentor! 

After going through a series of trainings, mentors will be able to implement restoration projects either on their own properties or on publicly owned land.  Following the implementation of a restoration project the trained mentors will become part of a network of community volunteer leaders that can mentor new interested volunteers to facilitate the implementation of more restoration projects!  As the network grows more and more conservation work will be possible through this program.
