COMMUNITY
WORKSHOPS
Home and Farm*A*Syst materials have been utilized in community and
source water protection workshops hosted by local partners (county
Cooperative Extension offices, Conservation districts, public utilities
offices, Health Departments, etc.). These workshops focused on particular
water quality issues such as well and/or septic system maintenance,
drinking water, household hazardous wastes, yard and garden care,
animal lots and manure handling, etc. Workshops promoted best management
practices and helped communities develop a sense of environmental
stewardship.
PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOPS
These materials have been utilized in recertification or training
workshops for professionals. These have included realtors, pesticide
applicators, small acreage farmers, and classroom educators.
VOLUNTEER TRAINING PROGRAMS
 The most successful
projects involved training AmeriCorps volunteers to conduct
drinking water protection projects, using Home and Farm*A*Syst materials,
in high priority watershed areas of Washington. These watersheds
have included the Columbia,Yakima, and Chehalis Basins. A number
of WSU volunteer training programs have also utilized the materials
(e.g., Livestock Advisors, Beachwatchers, Master Gardeners, and
Wastewarriors).
