Land Ho Stewards! If you are an ARC land steward, we encourage you to keep rediscovering your chosen property. If you haven't been out there lately, please plan your visit before the end of 2021. Also keep in mind you don't need to be an official ARC land steward to serve rivers and land for life. Anyone can care for open spaces by observing unusual changes in local flora and fauna, removing trash, and reporting illegal activity like trespassing, vandalizing, and dumping. You can share your valuable observations with ARC and other interested parties in our region. Find out more about ARC's land steward program by contacting [email protected].
