DescriptionStewardship - KLT staff and board members oversee the management of KLT's fee lands, monitor conservation easements and work with 70 volunteer stewards. KLT's stewards collectively volunteer over 1,000 hours each year for trail maintenance, monitoring, and public access projects. Conservation parcels that are especially large in acreage, or have unique or complex management needs, have more than one volunteer steward. KLT's Board of Directors has developed a Strategic Conservation Plan that focuses on ten priority conservation values. KLT's Strategic Conservation Plan was developed with GIS based natural resource information, and with information from community open space and comprehensive plans. This plan will inform and guide KLT's land acquisition and conservation easement priorities for the future. KLT is a lead partner in the Kennebec Woodland Partnership (KWP), a regional conservation initiative focused on the long-term sustainability of Kennebec County's woodlands and a landscape-level approach to conservation. KWP's goal is to promote woodland stewardship by providing landowners with information that will help them make informed decisions about their woodlands. Kennebec Woodland Partners work together to present forest education workshops for landowners, communities, schoolchildren, and natural resource professionals.Description
