Volunteer Positions
Volunteer Work Parties

Land Stewards
Volunteer land stewards help to ensure preservation of a property’s ecological value. Effective stewardship requires a long-term commitment to the land, which can be achieved when an individual adopts a property and provides stewardship for successive years.
If this position is of interest to you or someone you know, please email Stacy at volunteer@skagitlandtrust.org.
