IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Master Watershed Steward Certification Course: This educational course provides 70 hours of field and classroom training to equip Stewards (volunteer community members) with the skills and resources needed to mobilize their communities to reduce pollution through projects such as tree planting, conservation landscapes, large stormwater projects, and raising awareness about actions that can reduce pollution. Stormwater Success and Tree Trooper Training: Stormwater Success is designed for HOA leaders and property managers and focuses on stormwater management and maintenance, while Tree Trooper Training provides training and resources for community leaders developing tree planting projects. WSA also directly supports the development of dozens of additional stormwater management projects and assists volunteers in maintaining existing projects and clearing invasive plants. Spring into Action Annual Conference: This conference brings together over 300 community leaders and restoration professionals to learn, network, and plan restoration efforts for the year.
