Adapting Stewardship Administration to Changing Conditions
Source
About This Practical Pointer
Sound conservation stewardship ensures perpetual protection of the conservation purposes of owned and protected land. Land trusts are now at a critical juncture between traditional stewardship administration and the demands from the material physical effects of changing conditions.
The impacts of these changes on stewardship goals and practices will be far-reaching and specific to different regions. Various approaches exist to disaster response, to adaptation and to risk management. This pointer addresses stewardship administration of conserved land in response to changing circumstances.
