Join the Master Watershed Steward (MWS) Program, one of Penn State Extension’s most impactful volunteer initiatives, and make a difference in Adams County!.
Attend a free informational session on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Adams County Agricultural & Natural Resources Center in Gettysburg. This workshop will introduce the Spring 2025 MWS training program and guide you on how to apply to become a certified steward of local waterways.
Master Watershed Stewards are volunteers dedicated to improving water quality and conserving natural resources through hands-on projects and education. As a steward, you’ll engage in activities like stream monitoring, habitat restoration, stormwater management projects, and community outreach. From organizing cleanups and invasive species removal to creating rain gardens and bioswales, MWS volunteers leave a lasting impact on their communities.
This session is perfect for individuals passionate about conservation, environmental education, and connecting with like-minded peers. You’ll learn about the program’s training topics, volunteer opportunities, costs, and partnerships, including the leadership of the Watershed Alliance of Adams County.
Whether you’re developing educational materials, collaborating with municipal officials, or designing demonstration gardens, your contributions as an MWS volunteer will inspire environmental stewardship and protect Adams County’s natural heritage.
Don’t miss this chance to join a growing network of leaders driving meaningful change. Register today to secure your spot at this free event. Visit bigten.org/FCG to learn more.
