Facts about Membership:

There is currently no fee to become a Member of the Partnership
Anyone can join the partnership: individuals, businesses, non-profits, academic organizations, etc.
Joining the Partnership means committing a small fraction of your already busy schedule to every other month meetings of one of our working groups and attendance to our Annual Meeting event if possible. You can also serve on the Steering Committee.
Participating in a working group can mean attendance to continued education presentations and planning meetings, providing input on project ideas, contributing to a grant application, and/or getting directly involved in one of our many ongoing projects.
We need people with diverse skills, perspectives, backgrounds, and above all, a deep commitment to making our watershed better for all, humans and ecology alike. All are welcome and we urge you to invite others.
