Adopt-A-Stream Mississsippi
Become A Stream Steward
As a Stream Steward, I promise to:
- Remember that I live in a watershed, and anything I do in that watershed can affect a stream positively or negatively
- Learn all I can about Mississippi streams
- Engage in activities that promote and preserve the health of Mississippi streams
- Conduct myself in a professional manner so that my actions do not negatively affect my Stream Team, other Stream Teams or Stewards, or the Adopt-A-Stream program as a whole
- Consider others' points of view on water resource issues; recognize that our state's waters serve many purposes, some of which may appear to conflict; and advocate for the health and values of Mississippi streams based on good science and accurate data
- Respect the property rights of private landowners and always ask permission before entering private land
- Report my activities on the Adopt-A-Stream website so that my efforts can be included with other Stream Team Activities to show that we are making a difference locally and globally.
