Steps Along the Way 100 Land Stewards Trained WPC has trained our 100th volunteer land steward. Since the beginning of the land steward program in 1999, WPC has successfully engaged community and conservation leaders in monitoring and managing WPC conserved lands. There are currently 75 active land steward volunteers active and serving as WPC ambassadors. These trained volunteers complete regular monitoring visits of 38,000 acres of high conservation value land and serve as WPC eyes, ears and voice on the land and in communities.
Twenty-two land steward volunteers have now contributed five years to the volunteer program, which is above and beyond their original two-year commitment. Over half of the land stewards have volunteered for three years or more and many have said, “I will continue as long as WPC needs me.” WPC currently owns 12,000 acres and is responsible for conservation easements on another 26,000 acres. Land stewards are the lifeblood of stewarding these conserved lands and WPC would simply not be able to conserve all this land without them. The land steward program is supported in part by a stewardship fund created by land steward volunteers James G. Holland and Pamela Meadowcroft. Jim and Pam have been volunteer land stewards since 2001. Both wanted to do something to memorialize the goodness their son brought to the world and created the Benjamin Thomas Holland Memorial Fund to help ensure the conservation of land in our region.
