New Recognition, New Goals
(cont. from pg. 1) working alongside landowners to carefully look after
the conserved land so that it is sustained or enhanced for future generations.
Monitoring is one aspect of that, but Engel stresses that stewardship
also includes outreach to easement owners and other conservation-minded landowners. As such, the Conservancy will act as
a resource for landowners and residents, offering insightful information, connections to national resource professionals, and advice
for property owners, as well as regular tours of conserved land for the broader community.
Long-term stewardship is important for three reasons, he says:
• The Conservancy has a growing number of easements to oversee and monitor.
• The rigorous requirements of accreditation require an increasing stewardship role for land conservancies.
• The Conservancy wants to be proactive and encourage good land management, which will improve the environment for
everyone.
“It’s an integrated approach, combining both monitoring and stewardship,” Engel says.
