The Site Stewards program is an opportunity for volunteers to build a relationship with one or more Nisqually Land Trust properties. Site Stewards make quarterly visits to the property that they adopt and report back to the Land Trust with their observations.
Site Stewards often also get involved in controlling invasive plant infestations, identifying trespass issues, cleaning up trash and addressing other disturbances that hinder restoration efforts. It’s common for properties to have more than one Site Steward and we encourage and support volunteers in coordinating with the other Site Stewards at their site.
All Site Stewards go through a one-on-one orientation with a Land Trust staff member at the site(s) they “adopt.” A site orientation is important for gaining familiarity with the property, its access points, and important safety and contact information.
At least one Site Steward workshop is hosted each year. The 2022 Site Steward training workshop was held virtually on Saturday, February 5th. Here is a link to the video of the workshop on our YouTube channel. We encourage you to watch the video if you think you may be interested in becoming a Site Steward.
