Nisqually Stream Stewards

Throw a frozen fish in the rivers to feed birds and other fish, on a cold day in winter, with people around you who want to save what we have, What could be more rewarding? My life's roadmap has changed now after this course. I see the eco-land much more in detail now. I know how it works. I think this is the coolest thing I have ever done, not just for myself, but for the world.

I selected the Stream Stewards to volunteer with two years ago and it was a life changing experience. The program provides detailed training and numerous activities and events for you to participate in focusing on the importance of community involvement in the restoration effort of the Nisqually watershed and Salmon habits. While I volunteered I also attended college and began to take my interest in the restoration effort a step further by selecting courses that would compliment the work I did as a volunteer. The end result for me was a decision to now apply for the Masters in Environmental Studies program at Evergreen State College. The stream steward program is an volunteer opportunity that gives you a chance to make a difference.

" I love stream stewards, I am so grateful to have such a meaningful way to demonstrate to young people the positive impacts we humans can have on our environment. The Stream Stewards shows me that the dreams I have for our water and our earth can come true. I share your story wherever I go. Thanks for the work you do. Stephanie"
