TC’s new Resource Conservation<br />
Education Center is Here to Help!<br />
Stewardship. It’s a word that environmental types like to throw<br />
around, but what does it really mean? Stewardship, in its<br />
simplest sense, indicates a responsibility to take care of<br />
something. Historically speaking, stewards were servants who<br />
brought food and drink to the castle dining hall. Later, they<br />
were paid employees who managed household affairs, and<br />
today, we have stewards who provide passenger service on ships,<br />
trains and airplanes. All these stewards have one thing in<br />
common: a responsibility to take care of something.<br />
Environmental stewardship goes one step further. Rather than<br />
being a paid job, environmental stewardship implies that<br />
humans are caretakers with an ethical obligation to care for the<br />
natural world around us.<br />
Many of us are environmental stewards already, in our own little<br />
ways. Some people plant native trees, compost kitchen scraps,<br />
turn off the lights when they leave a room, drive hybrid cars,<br />
hunt responsibly, or install bird and bat houses. Some people<br />
buy or grow their food locally, or care for a few acres of forest,<br />
meadow, wetland and streams. Some people volunteer with<br />
their local environmental nonprofit organization. Every single<br />
positive action is a contribution toward our combined<br />
stewardship efforts.<br />
<strong>Tinicum</strong> <strong>Conservancy</strong>’s new Resource Conservation Education<br />
Center is being developed to assist <strong>Tinicum</strong> Township<br />
landowners in being excellent stewards of their land. The<br />
Center will offer a host of information about plants, wildlife,<br />
ecosystems and management of<br />
land and water. The Center will<br />
have publications and tools for<br />
loan to assist landowners’<br />
stewardship endeavors. The<br />
Center will also offer Property<br />
Natural Resource Assessments to<br />
help conservation easement<br />
landowners identify their<br />
property’s unique natural<br />
resources and challenges and to<br />
focus their long-term<br />
stewardship goals. For more<br />
information, call 610-294-1077<br />
