Hands-On Worskhops (previously Clearwater Partners Workshops) events strive to go beyond informational presentations, often encouraging participants to get out in the field and engage with their surroundings.

Currently there are no up coming events.

While it is CRC’s intent to disseminate natural resource conservation information and educate the residents and visitors about this watershed, we believe that teaming up fun activities with learning opportunities is an effective way to bring a larger base of active and engaged citizens to bear on resource conservation. That’s what these Workshops strive to do.

Ideas for future Hands-on Workshops include: 

• fly casting, fly tying

• wildflower identification

• identifying native aquatic plants on the Clearwater Canoe Trail

• wildlife tracking

• effective gardening in the Clearwater watershed

• hunting season updates

• surviving in the back county

We welcome your requests and ideas.
Below are some of the workshops we’ve held in the past.
