The Power of Volunteers and Their
Contribution to Science
30
the recipe
Start with a larger science community -knowledge,
guidance, resources Blend with a local watershed
group -built on partnerships, providing
coordination Add committed volunteers -whipped
with training
you get
Volumes of credible data -provided at greatly
reduced funding Delivery of stewardship
messages Greater understanding of community More
accurate message provided to the community
