Making Ripples
AUDIENCE	Benton County Schools, Grades K-12, neighborhood associations, local businesses, churches, landowners, and other groups
DESCRIPTION	The mission of Making Ripples is to build community for healthy streams in Benton County. We are addressing the need for a single entity to bring together and coordinate the separate local efforts to restore healthy streams. Through the implementation of an adopt-a-stream type program, we hope to foster within residents a sense of responsibility towards local streams. We are also looking to build connections between rural and urban areas to cross jurisdictional boundaries and break down barriers.
RESOURCES	Guest speakers, presentations, restoration opportunities, curriculum/materials, field equipment for loan, volunteers, volunteer training, teacher workshops, environmental education training, stream table simulator
