My Nonprofit Reviews

The Stroud Water Research Center is an internationally active and renowned water and aquatic ecologies science center, whose work ranges from basic science, to understanding landscape wide and site-specific impacts on watersheds, to ecological restorations. Environmental education is also a key organizational mission, so that the lessons learned can benefit local communities of residents, all levels of government, and nonprofit watershed and natural resource organizations. Science and practice are truly integrated in the way this organization works, a characteristic that was born with its first scientists who tested the ecological principles and passed on their informed recommendations for improving water quality, forest and biodiversity expansion, and health of aquatic species and ecologies. Diversity is represented in both the staff and volunteers. All of my volunteer work there has been critically linked with the education I need to understand the key principles of the projects, and to use tools effectively. These scientists, technical experts, and educators practice the affability, determination to improve water quality, scientific excellence, technical analysis, and willingness to partner in ways that lead to continuing expansion of their assistance to others and their expertise.
