SUMMARY:Pinellas Florida Waters Stewardship Program - 2024
DESCRIPTION:An intensive program to learn all about Florida’s waters. Each class takes place at a new location with guest speakers\, tours and more! \n\n\nWorking With Water\, Working With People \nTo make a difference concerning the issues surrounding water quality and quantity in our communities\, we must understand the various ways in which we interact with water. As Floridians\, we are connected to our oceans and bays by our faucets and laundries\, to our neighborhood ponds and lakes by our yards and streets\, and to our regional and statewide neighbors by our surface and groundwater supplies. \nThis program will use expert presentations\, online explorations\, experiential learning\, field experience in watershed science\, and communication skills training to foster a greater understanding of these interactions and provide the tools necessary to become stewards of our water resources. \nDuring this seven-session course\, participants will travel to locations across Pinellas County to explore the natural beauty\, learn about emerging water issues\, and meet with local experts. \nParticipants will also plan and implement an individual (or group) stewardship project that makes a difference in the community\, attend a relevant stakeholder meeting and explore online resources to learn more about water between class sessions. \nEach class session will be three hours long and include Working with Water instructor-led presentations looking at water at the state-level as well as Working with People instructor-led presentations highlighting communication best-practices. Classes will also include time for discussions\, guest speaker presentations highlighting local water resources\, and a field tour. \nThis course has limited seating/availability. Register early to reserve your spot.
