Penn State hosts Master Watershed Steward information session

A free public information session about the Penn State Master Watershed Steward Program in Bucks County is being held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, at the Bucks County Extension Office auditorium, 1282 Almshouse Road, Doylestown.

The program provides 40 hours of water and natural resource training for citizens that have an interest in the environment, a willingness to learn more and a strong desire to make a difference in the community. After training, volunteers engage in projects to help protect area streams, rivers and wildlife habitat.

The training program begins Thursday, April 2, and continues subsequent Thursdays from 5:45 to 8:45 p.m. through July, at the Bucks County Extension office and local partnering environmental organizations. The curriculum also features three hands-on Saturday field trips.
