Eastern Shore Land Conservancy is looking for members to join their Volunteer Land Steward Team this spring.
In efforts to preserve the prime farmland, wildlife habitats, and unique natural assets of the Eastern Shore, ESLC assists landowners in exploring and implementing various conservation options for their properties. The most highly utilized option is a legal agreement known as a conservation easement, which restricts future development of a property in order to protect it in perpetuity. To ensure the ongoing preservation of special places, ESLC visits and inspects preserved properties on an annual basis. Volunteer Land Stewards play an instrumental role in assisting ESLC to carry out these responsibilities.
ESLC’s Volunteer Land Steward training covers topics relating to land conservation as well as an orientation to conducting a site visit and completing field work. Training is required for new Volunteer Land Stewards. In addition to the monitoring skills and knowledge gained from the training, volunteers will have the unique opportunity of participating in the preservation of some of the most beautiful lands on the Eastern Shore.
