We’re proud to be featured in The Nature Conservancy’s Stream Stewards: A Guide to Watershed Stewardship Through Community Science and Youth Engagement, a new publication by Kim Hachadoorian that highlights community science efforts advancing watershed health.
For years, Stroud Water Research Center partnered with The Nature Conservancy and the First State National Historical Park to support the Stream Stewards program. Together, we engaged volunteers of all ages in hands-on water monitoring, education, and stewardship that informs real conservation action. Our scientists provided training, technical guidance, and tools (including EnviroDIY Monitoring Stations) to help community scientists collect high-quality data and steward freshwater resources effectively.
This work built on decades of community science and watershed training — from foundational Watershed 101 workshops to advanced monitoring and restoration techniques — and reflected our broader commitment to education, research, and community engagement in support of healthy streams and rivers.
We’re honored that this collaboration and our annual training efforts empowered local stewards, and we’re especially pleased to spotlight this alongside being named the 2025 Outstanding Partner by the Penn State Master Watershed Stewards in York County.
Thank you to all our partners and volunteers for making this work possible!
