If you have a passion for protecting the Boise River and want to actively contribute to safeguarding this beautiful urban river, then this stewardship program is for you!
When you become a Boise Urban River Steward, you will embark on a self-guided stewardship journey dedicated to ensuring the cleanliness and well-being of the Boise River. As an Urban River Steward you will be required to actively participate in three activities that contribute to the overall health of the Boise River watershed. These activities include riverbank clean-ups, conducting water quality tests, and spreading awareness about the URS program at local events.
Stewards are required to attend a mandatory, in-person training on April 10th from 5:30-7:30PM at Roots Zero Waste Market in Garden City. This training will equip you with the essential knowledge and tools needed to successfully complete this program. The training will also provide a deep dive into the history of the Boise River, its importance to our local community, and offer you insights about current issues affecting its watershed.
