Pathways can be thought of as your level of commitment and desired outcomes for the course. The Advocate Pathway provides a route for people without land access to learn the principles and practices of water restoration, in order to educate their communities and lead local initiatives. The Land Steward Pathway is designed for those working on their own landscape. The Professional Pathway has the most required actions for each module and is the hardest to complete. It is designed to provide students with the experiences they need to become water restoration professionals. Some access to land will be required in order to complete some of the actions. Actions requiring land can be scaled up or down depending on context, a front or backyard is a sufficient amount of space.
