Nisqually Land Trust Virtual Site Steward Workshop-Jan. 30th, 2021!! @ Nisqually Land Trust
Tickets
Jan 30 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

The Nisqually Land Trust acquires and manages critical lands to permanently protect the water, wildlife, natural areas, and scenic vistas of the Nisqually River watershed. With over 7,500 acres of protected land, it is important to pay close attention to any changes that happen on the land.

Site Stewards increase our capacity to track changes, and address any negative conditions before they cause lasting problems. Site Stewards are our “eyes on the ground,” and help us better protect the critical lands we preserve.

This virtual workshop (which will be held on zoom) is an opportunity to learn about the Land Trust and our Site Steward program. You’ll walk away with all the information you need to get started as a successful Site Steward.
