ATTLEBORO LAND TRUST
Reminder – Site Steward Orientation On Sunday
This is a reminder about the Site Steward Orientation on Sunday at 1:00 pm. Thanks to those of you who have already said you plan to attend or are interested.
Complete details are below:
The Attleboro Land Trust is seeking volunteers who would like to serve as site stewards by “adopting” one of its nature preserves and helping to care for it. The duties of a site steward are to walk their property once a month, pick up litter, report vandalism, and help with routine trail maintenance.
A site steward may be an individual or a group, such as a group of neighbors, church group, youth group, or fraternal organization.
For more information on the site steward program, members of the public are invited to attend an orientation led by Charlie Adler, chair of the land trust’s property management committee, at the Richardson Preserve, 577B Wilmarth Street, on Sunday, July 23 at 1:00 pm.
The orientation will include a walk around the preserve, a discussion of the challenges faced by an all-volunteer organization managing over 500 acres of conservation land, and time for questions.
If you can’t attend the orientation, but are interested in becoming a site steward, please reply to this email.
Finally, we have an urgent need at the Richardson Preserve to form a Mowing Team to keep the lawn areas mowed around the Barrows House and in The Glen during the summer months. We have been fortunate to have a dedicated team of volunteers perform this service in past years but need additional volunteers to continue with this work this year.
You could help with this on your own time, using our equipment or yours. If you are interested in helping with this, please let us know.
