Thank you for your interest in the Minnesota Water Stewards program! We believe volunteer leadership for water is a critical piece of the puzzle to caring for water in our state. There will not be a new training in 2025 as we take the year to work on our new expanded program for 2026 and beyond. We are working to make the program more accessible and customizable to local water issues across Minnesota. You can read more about the upcoming changes here.
