*For the past 17 years, Watershed Week has been a major component of STRAW’s (Students and Teachers Restoring a Watershed) restoration science education program for teachers and partners. It is designed to expose our participants to cutting edge watershed science, watershed issues, San Francisco Bay Area habitats with time to learn from each other.
** The Four Societies process is a community decision-making process that builds solutions that work for the minority and the majority. The process creates sustainable solutions that build community relationships in which the land is always represented. The process will be led by
Dr. Jeannette Armstrong, council member of the Okanagan nation of British Columbia and other international councils and Dr. Marlowe Sam, of the Colville Confederated Tribe and primary mediator of council conflicts.
