Training Opportunities

The Adopt A Stream Program delivers a one day training courses each year to the field crews from all the projects associated with the Program. The training covers the requirement to follow the Nova Scotia Environment permit conditions and the restoration design as laid out on the ground by restoration biologist, ecology of the watercourses, and how the restoration techniques improve the health of the aquatic ecosystem and supervised Instream hands on installation of the techniques they are going to be using.

Restoration sites are checked by our restoration staff during the summer and the field crews are shown how to do the work correctly and any deficiencies corrected.

In addition a yearly one day workshop is held to discuss the group projects, any new developments in techniques, watershed planning, and project funding and legal requirements for NGO’s. 

For those that want more training we have courses in culvert assessment for fish passage and ecosystem impact, and a fish habitat assessment protocol for Nova Scotia.
