 Here in Alabama, we have abundant water resources ranging from fast flowing mountain streams to large, lazy rivers to picture-esque coastlines. But the importance of our watersheds isn't always clear. We don't always see the impact our everyday activities can have on water bodies or know how water quality impacts our quality of life. Have you ever wondered what storm drains have to do with drinking water, swimming, food, animals? How about plants? Or even you? Or why what you put on your lawn influences local fish? Have you wanted to know how healthy your local waters actually are or what we can do to protect and improve these treasures? Become a Watershed Steward Learn the answers to these questions and more! The Alabama Watershed Steward Program is a training program that promotes healthy watersheds, increases understanding of water pollution, and provides the knowledge and tools needed to prevent and resolve water quality problems. By the end of the training, you should know how to evaluate the health of waterways, how land use impacts ecological health, and ways you can make a difference. Watershed Stewardship is for everyone. Together, we can make a better Alabama. For more information, visit www.aces.edu. Get involved today and together we can improve and protect the quality of our local water resources.
