Salmo Watershed Streamkeepers Society,with Gerry Nellestijn, 

& Dr. Tara Lynne Clapp, 

Columbia Basin Watershed Network and Iowa State University

Sustainable funding is a concern for watershed stewardship groups across the Basin. Most watershed stewardship groups rely on volunteer effort to accomplish the basics, with grant funding the go-to source for needed equipment, supplies, and larger project efforts.

Funds and resources follow values. In this webinar, we will re-examine some

of the fundamentals of value in watershed stewardship. Using examples, we

will review different approaches to matching the values we communicate

to sources of funds.

Tara Clapp will introduce some of the value frameworks that are used to create funding opportunities. Gerry Nellestijn will relate his experience from the Salmo watershed. He will relate values to his work in establishing a user-pay framework.

The spring member meeting will focus on the issue of sustainable funding, and this webinar serves as an introduction to some of the concepts.
