SWS 2016 New Class

Hear the new 2016 Sound Water Stewards class talk about their training experiences …

  • Fabulous!  Eye-opening — I look at things differently now since the training.

  • Everything from the forest to the sound is interrelated and connected. 

  • Being new to the island, class was GREAT exposure to the island and all it has to offer.

  • I loved the Critter Reports!  I learned so much from them, which led me to attend Digging for Dinner.

  • Beavers really are “ecosystem engineers”!

  • Hibulb Cultural Center in Tulalip was a highlight — totally educational about native tribes; a beautiful facility with awe-inspiring, massive cedar logs; the group tour and speakers provided a broad overview of current Native American issues which tie to past issues.

  • At Padilla Bay, a good combination of lecture and hands-on and being stuck in the mud!

  • I am so glad that I decided to join the Class of 2016.  I plan to help recruit the next class.

Already 34 members of this new class have accumulated 1500 volunteer hours. By mid October, they’d reported working on 38 different projects, including Intertidal Monitoring, Digging for Dinner, Forage Fish Surveys, Invasive Green Crab Monitoring, Pigeon Guillemot Surveys, Bull Kelp Monitoring, educational programs at the State Parks, and involvement with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust.

What a great start for the new trainees of Sound Water Stewards!
