Thank you for your interest in being a Watershed Steward or Angel Volunteer!
Our Watershed Steward Teams and Angel Volunteers are crucial to the health of our waters by removing litter, assisting with vegetation management, monitoring the health of our waterways, and reporting areas of concern.
Our teams can adopt specific reaches of the river or arroyos, or develop specialized skills that are applicable and initiated watershed-wide. Interested in forming your own team? First, please review and fill out the Adopt Steward Agreement.
Responsibilities of Steward Team Leaders
Recognition
To appreciate and recognize your efforts, Steward Teams receive:
Let us know what you’re looking for and we can discuss available reaches and other details. In addition to great community visibility and recognition, you are supporting work that is crucial to the health of our collective water future.
Don’t want to commit to stewarding a specific reach? That’s okay, too! If you sign up to be an “Angel Volunteer,” you can organize cleanups of your own and SFWA will help with promotion and provide trash bags and gloves to borrow.
We also encourage you to participate in SFWA training opportunities to learn better watershed stewardship. Subscribe to SFWA’s Watershedders e-news to sign up for steward workshops, community cleanups, special events, and other volunteer opportunities.
