Description
The Streamkeepers Course is a fun and educational 2½ day introduction to stream stewardship (participants are expected to attend all three sessions). It offers participants an opportunity for hands-on learning and practice of stream stewardship activities such as stream surveying, conducting water quality testing, and stream invertebrate identification. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to get your hands wet! Participation requires the ability to walk on trails and in-creek. Upon successful completion of training, a streamkeepers certificate is awarded to each participant.
Taught by Michelle Jones, the classroom portions of the course will be held at the Lewis Centre, and the field component will take place at Brooklyn Creek.
We need at least 14 people to sign up in order to run the course, and there is room for a maximum of 20 participants.
