Become a Stream Steward!
Clark County citizens care about protecting our vibrant ecosystems. Still, environmental conservation can seem like a daunting task, but anyone with a passion for the great outdoors and a commitment of 45 hours of volunteer time can make a difference by becoming a Stream Steward. Stream Stewards participate in free classes and workshops about native plants, stream restoration and wildlife, and in return use their knowledge to support the utility’s environmental efforts.
Stewards attend classes 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on six Saturdays and 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on five Tuesdays; all held September 21 through November 2. We’re also offering an optional leader training on Saturday, October 12. After completing training, Stream Stewards from a variety of backgrounds support the StreamTeam by leading school presentations on salmon conservation, organizing tree planting groups, combating invasive knotweed and more.
Stream Stewards commit to at least 45 hours of service in exchange for free educational opportunities. Classes are open to local people of many skills and abilities. Conserving Clark County’s wildlife and local watersheds begins with learning about the remarkable world here in our own communities.
Space is limited, so submit your application today at www.StreamStewards.net. Or contact Ashley at StreamTeam@clarkpud.com or 360-992-8585 with any questions.

Mission Statement
Clark Public Utilities' StreamTeam Program is committed to preserving a healthy environment we can enjoy and pass on to future generations.
The CPU StreamTeam's mission is to rehabilitate, restore and enhance salmon habitat and water quality conditions for all residents of Clark County while increasing the awareness of community members.
Description
The StreamTeam program is a volunteer based stream restoration and environmental education program of Clark Public Utilities. The StreamTeam completes projects that include native tree plantings, environmental education, water quality monitoring and maintenance of our restored sites.
In addition to our restoration opportunities, we also have an extensive watershed education program that includes service learning outings and the Stream Stewards program. The Stream Stewards program is a learn-n-serve program which provides 45 hours of hands-on watershed education ranging from hydrology and geology to native plants and stream ecology in exchange for 45 hours of volunteer time. Not only is the StreamTeam committed to bringing salmon back to Salmon Creek but to facilitating meaningful, hands-on experiences in our community.
