The Penn State Extension Master Watershed Steward Program is a volunteer program that provides training, resources, and ongoing support to volunteers that want to engage in environmental restoration projects and educational programs throughout Pennsylvania.
Planning is underway regarding the next few years of programming for the Master Watershed Steward Team.
As part of the planning process, they want your feedback on the types of training topics most needed for Master Watershed Stewards and how we can help advance conservation in your community.
Click Here to take a short survey to give them your advice. Deadline is May 31.
As a thank you at the end of the survey, you will have the opportunity to sign up to enter a raffle to receive Penn State Berkey Creamery ice cream.
