Copper River Stewardship Program
This hands-on program takes 10 youth from communities throughout the watershed on an in-depth adventure through the Copper River watershed.
This year's trip will took place June 15 - 24, 2011 --watch the movie to see the highlight's from this year's adventure! Contact Kate at CRWP for more information about how to support or participate in this program.
2010 WHAT THEY LEARN...
"The rivers that run through our watershed are important to all of us. I learned how fragile the balance of it all can be, and what people in our region are doing to keep it in good shape. I also learned that teamwork is essential. It would have been impossible to do all of this without the help of many different people, and we all learned to work well together."
"The first is that the watershed is fragile, and a special thing that should be watched over and protected. If we protect the watershed, then that also is better for the environment, especially salmon that a lot of people depend on for food and money."
2010 HOW THEY CHANGE...
"I got to know a lot of new people on this trip, and it made me much more open minded. I know that I will do everything I can to take care of this watershed in the future, and encourage other people to do the same."
"Right now I think the I have made a couple changes to my daily life. And maybe in the future if I choose to work for ADF&G, managing the salmon would be a career that I would consider, having not considered it before. And also I never knew that the people living around the upper Copper River depend on the fish more for food. That would certainly make my decisions different to provide more people with food."
