Adopt-A-Stream Guidelines |

What is the Adopt-A-Stream program? |
||
Our home waters offer us a place of comfort and familiarity. They are the local places we go to fish and unwind from life’s hectic pace. They are also places we feel attached to and protective of. The Adopt-a-Stream program provides a way for FFI clubs to watch over their local waters. By adopting a local stretch of water, clubs can foster a sense of ownership amongst their members by holding regular stream clean-ups, conducting water quality monitoring or biological monitoring. With the sense of ownership created through these activities comes a sense of pride and stewardship over our home waters. | ||
How can my club get involved? |
||
1. Select a site and then choose which activities your club would like to fulfill from the following:
2. When the site and activity have been selected, the appropriate land owner (whether it be public or private) of the site must be contacted to ensure the program is compatible with the property and owner. 3. Gain the acceptance and approval of your FFI club membership and leadership. |
