RoundUp for SWS at Camano Ace Hardware
Throughout the month of September, when you make a purchase at Ace Hardware at Camano Plaza, you can round up to the nearest dollar and your change is directed into a donation to Sound Water Stewards.
RoundUp donations help fund all of Sound Water Stewards important programs!
While you are there, tell the cashiers you are a member, let them tell you what they know about SWS and, in turn, share your experience of Sound Water Stewards.
September 30 is Camano 101
All about LIVING ON AN ISLAND…
You are invited to a free public event at Camano Center. It is a resource fair focused on what makes living on Camano Island different than living in town: septic systems, groundwater from your own well, emergency preparedness for when separated from the mainland, ways to be involved in local organizations working for environmental stewardship — including Sound Water Stewards!


SWS is Hiring!
Due to the upcoming retirement of the current Camano Coordinator, we seek new talent, skills, and energy to continue leading Stewards in the Camano area.
Vision
A healthy marine environment as defined by diverse natural ecosystems and sustainable human communities.
Mission
Trained volunteers working in and around Island County for a healthy, sustainable marine environment through education, science, and stewardship.
