What does the Stewardship Committee do?

A member of the Stewardship Committee of NOHLC has the unique opportunity to experience first hand just what a land conservancy does while at the same time making a significant contribution to its overall mission.

Some members opt to participate in gathering information as part of developing a baseline document for conservancy parcels. Gathering this information is an important record keeping responsibility of the conservancy but also it introduces the participants to information about flora, fauna , soils, GIS , topo maps, aerial photograph , etc.

Other members participate by monitoring conservancy easements and properties twice a year to insure that the high conservation values of sites have not been compromised.

Some Stewardship committee members become actively involved in hands-on maintenance, restoration and site enhancement activities which increase the conservation value of the saved sites. Whatever investment of time members feel they can volunteer, they know that their efforts in doing critical conservation work are a priceless gift to the future.

NOHLC's Stewardship Committee meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 1pm. Please contact the office at 248-846-6547 for meeting locations. To become a member of the Stewardship Committee call Chairperson Joan Harbaugh at 248-625-3316.
