Hi there, I just joined SFWA today and I notice there are some openings in your “adopt a river” project. I work at Desert Montessori and we are currently looking at ways we can become more active in the community. Could you briefly tell me about sponsorship – what does that mean exactly? I see that Reach 20 is open for the care of a steward – this would be a great opportunity for our school if I can get it off the ground. I work with the 3-6 year old children so I would need to pitch the idea to the elementary teachers in addition to the directress. I would prefer to do stewardship as it gives the kids the physical connection to the river and land. For the last 24 years I have incorporated environmental education in a Montessori setting and am always looking for more “hands-on” work. I look forward to being a member of SFWA!
Hi Melia,
I’m sorry that it has taken this long to respond to your message. Normally we’re sent a notice letting us know that there is a message waiting for comment on our website.
I am going to forward your message to Robin Hilliard, our Adopt-the-River Coordinator. She will be able to give you all the information you need to become a Sponsor. Thank you so much for your interest!
