Volunteer Land Steward
Are you interested in helping to protect and care for a special place in the Skagit? The Skagit Land Trust is always seeking volunteers for our Land Stewards program!
Volunteer land stewards are vital to insuring preservation of the outstanding values for which the property was acquired. Effective stewardship requires a long-term commitment to the land, which can be best achieved when an individual adopts a property and provides stewardship for successive years.
As a volunteer land steward, you can adopt one of Skagit Land Trust's properties and provide stewardship over a long period of time. As eyes and ears for the Trust, Land Stewards:
- visit 'their' property at least quarterly to see what has been happening in their absence;
- periodically take photographs at designated points to document changes;
- perform minor maintenance on the property, remove invasive plants, talk to neighbors, initiate investigations of encroachments;
- report findings to the Trust staff.
