Overview
Overview: To better steward the lands we own & protect we have implemented a seasonal stewardship program to help with easement monitoring and our preserve work. This will be the third year of us having an AmeriCorps Steward!
The Stewardship Assistant will collect and improve data on existing infrastructure on our lands. Having this information in our geodatabase is crucial in tracking changes to each property over time, ensuring the conservation values are being protected.
Our public preserves and other lands we own are stewarded by our full time Land Steward. The Stewardship Assistant will join the Land Steward in land improvements and other misc tasks when a second person is needed for safety or quality purposes. Examples include when using a boat to access properties, or when the Land Steward is operating a chainsaw.
