The Oregon Sea Grant Watershed Extension Team will present its first Oregon Water School April 17-18 in McMinnville. Programming includes a “Watersheds 101” introduction to core concepts, and a two-track series of classes on the topics of Water Quality and Watershed Stewardship, and Gardening and Landscape Practices. Students may register for an entire track, or choose sessions a la carte. Participants are eligible for certification credits toward the OSU Master Watershed Steward program, as well.

Friday’s Watershed 101 session will take place at the Church on the Hill, 700 North Hill Road, and Saturday’s at Linfield College. Costs range from $35 for a two-class half-day session to $80 for the entire two-day school. Preregistration is required for Watershed 101; single-day registrations will be available at the door, space permitting, for Saturday’s courses.
