March 19 - May 21, 2019
Padilla Bay Interpretive Center • 10441 Bayview Edison Road • Mt. Vernon, WA
The Salish Sea Stewards volunteer training program consists of approximately 40 hours of free classes taught by many local experts on a variety of topics impacting the Salish Sea. In return, participants pledge to give back 40 hours of volunteer services.
Classes are mostly lecture-style, but also include some hands-on field training. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet new friends and learn about the different volunteer opportunities to help make a difference in your community.
Classes are held every Tuesday starting March 19 - May 21, 2019 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the Padilla Bay Reserve, 10441 Bayview-Edison Road, Mount Vernon.
