Volunteers and the Stewardship Program Volunteers are particularly active in Skagit Land Trust's Stewardship Program. Volunteers play an indispensable role in the monitoring and care of Trust-held easements and properties. Two stewardship roles are in place through which volunteers are
assisting the Trust significantly,
yet more help is needed. Without the assistance of volunteers, our capacity to protect land throughout the county would be severely limited.
And, see photos from previous events here.
Volunteer Land Stewards adopt one of Skagit Land Trust's properties and provide stewardship over a long period of time. Volunteer Land Stewards act as eyes and ears for the Trust. They visit their property at least quarterly to see what has been happening in their absence. They periodically take photographs at designated points to document changes. They perform minor maintenance on the property, talk to neighbors, initiate investigations of encroachments, and report findings to the Trust staff. Volunteers are needed assist with maintenance and restoration work on Skagit Land Trust properties and conservation easements. Stewardship Volunteers bring their energy and enthusiasm to work parties, and they assist with special projects. In the past people have planted trees, mown grass, installed culverts, cleared brush, repaired and removed fences, and located property lines. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like to join our email list for event notification, please contact us.
