Environmental Stewards Program begins on January 8, 2013. It will take place at Davidson’s Mill Pond Park, 42 Riva Avenue, South Brunswick, NJ. The program runs through to May 14, 2014. Environmental Stewards Program is conducted by Rutgers at the EARTH Center. Anyone interested in learning more about the science behind environmental issues is an excellent candidate for the Rutgers Environmental Stewards Program.
The goal of the Program is for graduates to expand their awareness of science based information on environmental issues and to facilitate positive change in their community. Graduates become versed in the basic processes of earth, air, water, and biological systems. They will be educated on the techniques and tools used to monitor the health of our environment. They will also gain an understanding of the regulatory infrastructure of state and federal agencies operating in New Jersey.
Communication, conflict resolution and leadership skills are also taught in this program to enable Stewards to be effective in community action and political discourse, where most environmental issues play out.
