Fee Land Stewardship
Stewardship of land trust-owned properties begins with thoughtful planning — a process that starts before the land is acquired and culminates in a land management plan to guide stewardship activities on the property. North Branch Land Trust monitors its own properties at least annually to ensure that the terms of the stewardship and land management plan are being upheld.
