Anyone curious about the WSU Watershed Stewards program can visit the
following web site http://www.angelfire.com/wa/yakimawatershed which
was established to coordinate activities of two Watershed Stewards
classes graduated in the Yakima River Basin. While the course itself
was very interesting and stimulated virtually everyone who took it into
thinking seriously about watershed issues, there was no organized
follow-up to channel the initial enthusiasm in creative ways. For
whatever reasons most of the Yakima River Basin graduates seem to have
had a problem overcoming inertia and extend their training into
meaningful activities.
