ABOUT:
Whidbey Watershed Stewards is an accredited 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching both youth and adults about the wonders of our environment. We do this by "linking water, land, wildlife and people through education, research and restoration." Our core is educating young people, mostly K-5 grades at the Maxwelton Outdoor Classroom. These students not only include the South Whidbey Elementary School, but also other public schools on Whidbey Island, private schools and homeschool groups. The mission has grown into stewarding and restoration of several parcels of property allowing the ability to educate youth and adults on what it takes to protect our environment.
