Community Stewardship Program
Let us help you manage your conservation lands
Staffing constraints often mean that town and conservation groups may never fully benefit from the investments they have made in open space protection; management plans are not established, new trails are never built and older trail systems and amenities are not properly maintained. As more open space is protected throughout the region, it is important to implement proper care for these conservation lands and, when appropriate, establish access for safe public use and enjoyment.
Wildlands Trust's Community Stewardship Program can help provide reliable and affordable on-the-ground land stewardship support for towns, private land owners, and other non-profits that lack designated stewardship staff and expertise.
