Applications Accepted for Watershed Stewards Academy

The Watershed Stewards Academy is currently accepting applications for the next Master Watershed Steward Certification Course.

The academy, located at Arlington Echo Outdoor Education Center near Millersville, trains and supports citizens to become Master Watershed Stewards. The stewards take action with their neighbors to address the problem of stormwater pollution and restore local waterways in Anne Arundel County.

Prospective stewards need not have prior knowledge; they will receive training to identify and solve environmental problems in their community and form connections with a local network of energized leaders.

Watershed stewards may choose to serve within the community in which they live, work or worship. WSA is again partnering with the Alliance for the Chesapeake and Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake to continue the Riverwise Congregations program for those stewards interested in working with congregations.

Individuals interested in serving as Watershed Stewards in their community, business OR faith-based organization are welcome to complete the application process below. Attendance of one Information Orientations is required prior to application.
