This is an adult education program that is open to participants 18 years of age or older. Exceptions for teens as young as 15 may be made if a parent/guardian is also registered for the course. Please email [email protected] if you want to register a child as young as 15.
Course Description:
From high alpine lakes and streams to the Great Salt Lake and unique temporary wetlands of the arid desert, Utah has a vast diversity of aquatic systems that interact with each other throughout and across watersheds. In each Watershed Investigations course, you will experience and learn about how these various waterways interact within a local watershed.
Utah's aquatic and wetland ecosystems are inhabited by plant and animal communities that are well-adapted to wet, ephemeral, or saline environments. You will discover how to evaluate watershed ecosystem health through water chemistry and aquatic insects!
Each Utah Master Naturalist course consists of 40 hours of instruction, with approximately 16 hours covered in the online course, and the remaining 24 hours spent outdoors in a field course. Field course activities will include instructor-led discussions, guest presentations, small group activities, and open discussions. Class size is small to maximize your opportunities for learning and having fun!
Due to the nature of the Watershed Investigations class, we will be walking and hiking over some uneven terrain and often in rocky, wet environments. While we do our best to accommodate people of all abilities, please contact [email protected] if you have any concerns.
