Stewardship | D&R Greenway

Stewardship

D&R Greenway Land Trust is responsible for the stewardship and monitoring of approximately 120 properties – over 6,000 acres – under ownership and easement. We care for the plants and wildlife habitats on our preserved lands through good stewardship management.

Conservation easements are monitored annually. We guide our easement owners to improve the conservation values of their land. D&R Greenway welcomes involvement from local volunteers, corporations and community groups in caring for our preserved lands.
