Once a property is conserved with a land trust, the responsibility for management of that property extends forever. The type and intensity of our stewardship work varies from property to property, but generally it encompasses:

• Routine monitoring to identify concerns or problems

• Working with landowners to ensure compliance with conservation easements

• Construction and maintenance of trails

• Visitor education

• Invasive plant control

• Annual reporting

• Outings and community events

CCLT’s stewardship program runs on volunteer power, and we are always looking for more help with trail maintenance, property monitoring, and other volunteer activities.
