A primary mission of the Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program (AWSMP) is to provide educational opportunities for watershed residents to learn about stream science and how it’s applied to managing our watershed. We provide multiple events designed to educate landowners, municipal officials, highway departments, youth and the public. Throughout the year we hold conferences, workshops, trainings and educational meetings.
Some of the major training opportunities we offer include:
