What exactly should Land Stewardship mean to land managers in New Jersey?  What are some of the prevalent conservation threats and what are land managers doing to address these threats?  Anne H. Jacobson, Program Office at the Victoria Foundation, put together this excellent white paper on Land Stewardship.  It also includes information about existing funding sources for Stewardship.

Ms. Jacobson writes:

“Stewardship” is a broad term that goes beyond “management” (traditionally associated with farming and forestry operations) to encompass an environmental ethic:  the …… ongoing responsibility – in perpetuity – to supervise, enhance, maintain, and defend its properties.
