Stewardship & Monitoring
Most land requires active management to stay healthy. As part of our conservation agreements, a land trust staff member visits each property and conservation easement under our purview at least once a year to make sure that the property is in good condition and any threats to the ecological function are identified. At times taking action may be needed—whether planting trees, removing invasive plants, creating a more biodiverse forest with selective thinning, or by restoring rivers, prairies or wetlands—we aren’t afraid to dive in and get our hands dirty when needed.
