Climate Change Changing Our Community

Join your Watershed Ambassador to discover the atmospheric processes of climate change and the effects we are seeing within the local watershed.

Courtney Lacombe is serving with the NJ AmeriCorps Watershed Ambassador program as Cape May’s Watershed Ambassador. Courtney studied Environmental Science at NC State and has worked in the Great Dismal Swamp, Outer Banks, and Chesapeake Bay areas doing environmental education and natural resource management with North Carolina and Virginia State Parks. She is a Certified Interpretive Guide and informal educator certified in ProjectWET, ProjectWILD, and Project Learning Tree. She recently moved to Cape May with her spouse who is stationed at the Coast Guard Training Center and is looking forward to getting to serve her new community as their Watershed Ambassador, hosted this year by Rutgers Cooperative
Extension.

 

New Jersey's waters are a valuable and vulnerable resource. For the past 21 years, the AmeriCorps New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors Program has played an important role in raising awareness of how human activities can affect water quality, especially in the most densely populated state in the nation. Each year, a new group of 20 Watershed Ambassadors engages with community members, channeling awareness into action. That’s approximately 400 members who have devoted themselves to protecting New Jersey’s water resources. To learn more about the Ambassador program, you can visit their website or explore their Facebook page and see pictures of some of the great things Watershed Ambassadors have done in their communities!

The AmeriCorps NJ Watershed Ambassadors Program is administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Monitoring and Standards. The goals of the program are to promote watershed stewardship through education and direct community involvement, and to monitor stream health through performing visual and biological assessments. Individual AmeriCorps members are assigned to each of New Jersey's 20 watershed management areas (WMAs) to serve as "Watershed Ambassadors" to their watershed communities. In addition to the 20 full time Watershed Ambassadors, 3 part-time Source Water Protection Ambassadors are assigned to a region in Northern, Central, and Southern NJ. The Source Water Protection Ambassadors serve 900 hours from September – May, conducting education and stewardship projects that relate to sources of drinking water.

AmeriCorps is a national service initiative that engages more than 70,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet critical needs in education, public safety, health, homeland security, and the environment. Created in 1993, AmeriCorps is a part of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which engages more than 2 million Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service each year. For more information on the national AmeriCorps program, please visit their website at www.americorps.gov
