Confluence of Stewards
Join us for an open house celebrating of the work of Minnesota Water Steward volunteers!
Newly certified Stewards, seasoned Stewards, program partners, and supporters are all welcome!
Come explore the capstone projects of graduating stewards, share your own projects, network with your fellow Stewards, and spend the evening in the good company of others working to improve the health of our waters. This is a fun and casual event with speakers, best management practice tours, and a food truck, all to celebrate Stewards and their efforts.
This event is free, but capacity is somewhat limited so please RSVP on the Freshwater website.
