Public Conservation Area Stewardship
CLC manages each of
its public
conservation areas
to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the county’s rural landscapes and unique natural areas.
The Conservancy sees its public conservation areas as "outdoor
classrooms", and manages them to balance the
protection of habitat with public recreation, education, and
enjoyment.
Volunteers
are
an important part of our public conservation area land
stewardship program, as they help CLC monitor and maintain
conservation area trails both as site stewards and during
volunteer workdays. Click here

opportunities.
Conservation
Easement Stewardship
As
the holders of more than 160 conservation easements, CLC
has
a responsibility
to ensure that the goals of each conservation
easement
are respected in perpetuity.
In
addition to annual monitoring of the conservation easements, CLC
staff are available to answer landowner's questions about
their properties including questions about wildlife
management, controlling exotic species to enhance ecosystem
biodiversity, and working landscape
activities such as forest management.
