We have transitioned the long-standing Land Steward Training to a *new* hybrid (virtual & in-person) volunteer training program which was launched in Spring 2021. New volunteer Land Stewards are required to participate in the core training program before being assigned a forest reservation.
Topics covered in the training include Forest Society organizational overview, forest management and timber harvesting, trail maintenance, map & survey reading and compass navigation, community engagement, and recreation management. Online presentations & webinars will be supplemented with a in-the-field timber harvest tours, and full group culminating field day held at various locations to practice topics discussed in the other trainings.
For more information about becoming a volunteer Land Steward, please email Laurel Swope-Brush.
