Annual Adopt-A-Stream/Adopt-A-Block Volunteer Leader Training
Volunteer training for Adopt-A-Stream/Adopt-A-Block leaders during the summer presents simple methods to assess pollution sources to help the city target education and stewardship efforts that can prevent or reduce polluting behaviors. Neighborhood source control practices require an on-the-ground delivery system to connect with individual residents or businesses and provide them with education, training, direct services or possibly enforcement. The City Storm Water Quality Branch will spearhead this effort, but other partners play an important role. The format includes administration and supervision for volunteer leaders, stream and neighborhood walks, storm drain stenciling, and water monitoring. These partners can also spread the stewardship or pollution prevention message, offer more direct ways to distribute residential source control practices in their neighborhoods over the long run. The pool of potential volunteers in a community may be greater than you think.
