Successes in the Maine Watershed Stewards Program
University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s
Watershed Stewards Program
documented that their program
significantly improve program participant knowledge level
over non-participants through quantitative and qualitative measures (
Jemison et al. 2004
).
Stewards scored significantly (23%) higher on the objective test than
those that had not been involved in the program. Program participants
qualitatively demonstrated much more involvement with lake governance,
implementation efforts, and related activities.
