WLC Land Stewards
Our year-round Land Stewards program invites volunteers to adopt and care for a specific WLC trail, with ongoing guidance from conservancy staff and regular involvement with other stewards. Along the way, participants gain hands-on experience in trail maintenance and invasive species removal, take part in optional nature walks, and build community with fellow volunteers, all while deepening the question: How do we care for this land together?
The WLC Land Stewards cohorts generally form in the winter. Participants are encouraged to stay for a whole year, but there are still opportunities to join mid or late-season.
