Harford County Master Watershed Stewards Academy Graduates 11
The Master Watershed Stewards Academy trains community members to become leaders dedicated to improving the health of local streams.
Eleven citizens graduated from the Harford County Master Watershed Stewards Academy on March 12, 2025. The program trains community members to become leaders dedicated to improving the health of local streams. Master Watershed Stewards learn to identify pollutants, educate neighbors about stream health, and take action to reduce human impacts on water quality.
The program was developed by Harford County’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Office in partnership with the University of Maryland Sea Grant Extension.
Participants were selected through an application and interview process in August 2024. The classes were held at Harford Community College in Bel Air and included local field trips and class projects.
