Do you love the natural beauty and diverse ecosystem of the Blue Water Area and want to share that passion with others? Would you enjoy field trips and case studies involving wildlife habitats and conservation? If so, the MSU Extension Michigan Conservation Stewards Program hosted by Friends of the St. Clair River could be a great opportunity.
The ten-week course consists of interactive online classes and is for those who are interested in science-based ecosystem management. The course includes live online content, capstone projects, and in-person field experiences.
Kirsten Lyons, Stewardship Director for Friends of the St. Clair River, said, “We’re proud to host this conservation leadership training program again. Nearly two dozen alumni from our 2018 Conservation Stewards program have been in the community restoring trails and natural areas, leading conservation efforts, and educating youth about the environment.”
Those interested in participating need to sign up soon. Registration closes on September 1st and the cost is $95. A link to signup information:
