Local Trainings & Other Programs » Budding Botanists : Spring Stewards
About Our Training Programs
In response to the desire for more opportunities to educate and involve people both locally and regionally, we will be offering several programs that provide ongoing enrichment for our volunteers. The Budding Botanist Program is a great way for motivated volunteers to learn from regional botanical experts and participate in important research and inventory projects. The Spring Stewards Program offers a handful of committed volunteers the chance to conduct assessments of rarely visited springs on the Colorado Plateau. Volunteers that commit to these programs will gain valuable knowledge and experience, work alongside regional experts, and visit spectacular places to conduct this important work.
