FAQs

1. We are supposed to form our own teams--is that correct? I think I have three other people who want to join me.

ANS. Yes. They will have to be trained, however. Also, you will want to arrange transportation. If they are in your pod, you may car-pool. Otherwise, you will want to arrange separate rides.

2. There will be online training?

ANS Yes. I will be working with ISU students to get on-line trainings up and going. Check out the website for more info.

3. Anyone who is new needs to do a physical assessmentat the TRAINING.

4. Is there also a separate self-assessment?

ANS. No. Not at this time. The physical assessment is important. You must appreciate the physical demands required for even the simple zones.

5.Is that also when we can pick up equipment/materials?.

ANS. We will have logsheets, maps, and gift cards available for ISU students.

6. Do we pick our own day/time to do the BeaverCount during the week after training?

ANS. Yes. Just pick your date and time and respond by email to mike@watershedguardians.org
