In the two years since the program\u2019s launch, twenty watershed stewards have been recognized by their respective organizations for their efforts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is named after a former MWC member, Doug Cross, who used his extensive background and expertise in media communications to help get MWC\u2019s messages out to the community. MWC received a generous donation in 2020 upon his passing, and MWC is using these funds to raise awareness about good watershed stewardship practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligible organizations can register during the month of January to receive a&nbsp;<strong>free<\/strong>&nbsp;Recognition Package for them to award to a member that they\u2019ve identified as being a good watershed steward. Each Recognition Package includes a certificate of recognition and a gift card to Hidden Habitat native plant nursery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s a good watershed steward? We\u2019ve outlined some criteria to help organizations select worthy recipients on our website, and we\u2019ve also provided some ideas on how to select a recipient, but it\u2019s up to each organization to decide what works best for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the Doug Cross Stewardship Recognition Program and register your organization to receive a free Recognition Package at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.muskokawatershed.org\/programs\/stewardship-recognition-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">www.muskokawatershed.org\/programs\/stewardship-recognition-program<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Muskoka Watershed Council Our watersheds are made up of thousands of people who take small actions every day to help keep our watersheds healthy and beautiful, and Muskoka Watershed [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":148322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Watershed Council wants to reward local stewards - Huntsville Doppler<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Muskoka Watershed Council wants to help recognize these watershed stewards!
