WSU Stream Stewards

Congratulations to Dennis Crisman, Karl Erickson, Bill Wasson, Tom Coleman, Frank Stricklin, Pat Stricklin and Gail Rase. The forty hour class consisted of about 20 hours in class and 20 hours in the field. Dennis will need to complete volunteer hours to get his diploma. This training puts the entire ecosystem into perspective and makes you realize there is no point in protecting just one part of it.

Your Park Stewards

Any organization is only as good as its members. We are fortunate to have a lot of dedicated members. If you have any skills that you are willing to share, I am sure we can find a place to put them to work.

Sharing knowledge will help us create a sustainable park, for many generations to use.
