Natural Land Stewards assist the Manager of Land Stewardship in implementing restoration projects around the property regarding exotic invasive plant species control, erosion control, and habitat improvement. Other activities include trail maintenance, maintaining gardens around the visitor center, and working in the native plant nursery and greenhouse. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about native plant species, identifying invasive plant species, and learning ecological best management practices for stewarding natural lands.
