Adopt-A-Stream is a program that promotes environmental stewardship through training workshops, outdoor field activities and by introducing participants to watershed action projects.

The two-day program provides an in-depth study of watersheds as well as hands-on training in chemical and biological parameters important to a healthy stream.

• Increase awareness of nonpoint source pollution
• Introduce surveying and mapping of your watershed
• Introduce Scenic Streams in Mississippi
• Introduce possible actions that can be taken to help your watershed, such as:
  • Storm Drain Marking
  • Stream Cleanups
  • Participation in World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD)
  • Advocacy and More
