The Oak Creek Watershed Council (OCWC) and the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension are seeking motivated applicants for the Oak Creek Master Watershed Steward Program to become highly valued volunteers interested in knowledge about watershed issues and sharing their experience with others. Get involved with local water resources while learning how to make more informed decisions related to your own land, community and watershed. Learn about forest health and the geology of the Sedona area. Gain hands-on experience in water quality monitoring and water conservation. Discover how GPS and GIS technology are used for watershed management. Make new friends and teach others the value of good stewardship.

This intensive 16 week, adult-oriented course will educate and train participants in all aspects of Oak Creek watershed issues. Participants will learn the basics of hydrology, climate, geology, ecology, water quality, and water management among other topics. No previous experience is required. Classes will be taught by University of Arizona faculty as well as other professionals from our area and around the state. Those who complete the course will be offered unique volunteer opportunities with the Oak Creek Watershed Council to monitor and protect the health of Oak Creek.

Classes begin Thursday, March 3, 2011, and will be held every Thursday afternoon from 1 PM to 5 PM through June 16th at the KSB Pushmataha Center, 360 Brewer Road in Sedona.
