Water Trail Site Stewards

News

The 2024 White River Water Trail Stewardship season has started!

The WRP is seeking interested volunteers to help us provide safe recreational access to the White River this summer. Follow this link to see the White River Water Trail sites across the White River watershed that require a site steward!

Site Steward responsibilities

The WRP is working with partners to sustain a White River Water Trail Stewardship Network. Our long-term goalĀ is to provide safe recreational access to the White River by recruiting and supporting a stewardship volunteer at each White River Water Trail site.

Volunteer stewardship responsibilities include:

  • Removing trash at your site on Green Up Day in May (optional)
  • Monitoring a specific White River Water Trail (WRWT) site once a month from May through September:
    • Gathering data on trash, hazards, and site improvement needs
    • Collecting trash in the trash bags provided (optional)
    • Reporting data via an electronic Google Form
  • Participating in the WRP Source to Sea Cleanup in September (optional)
