SUMMARY:Preserve Steward and Monitor Training
DESCRIPTION:Interested in becoming more involved with the CWC? \nIf you visit one of our preserves on a regular basis\, you might be a good candidate to become a Preserve Steward!\nStewards do many things. At a minimum\, Stewards visit preserves frequently\, make note of any problems (and fixing the problems when they can)\, and report back to CWC staff. Stewards also complete annual monitoring reports for their assigned preserve. Within their capabilities\, Stewards can tackle tasks such as tree trimming\, trail maintenance\, and invasive species removal. During scheduled work sessions\, stewards may be asked to take charge of additional volunteers or even coordinate volunteers. \nMaybe your time is more limited.  We’re also looking for individuals who are interested in becoming Preserve and Easement Monitors.  Monitors help us keep a record of changes to a property over time and identify any long term issues. Monitors are required to complete one annual monitoring report for each assigned property. \nIf this sounds like something you’re interested in\, please join us on Saturday\, September 12th at 9:00am at the CWC offices at 306 S. University Ave. in Mt. Pleasant. We’ll start in the office and then move out to a preserve for some hands on training. Registration is required to attend. \nPlease call (989) 772-5777 to register. If you are unable to attend\, but are interested in becoming a Steward please give us a call. \nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn
