Help protect the Green Mountains and the “footpath in the wilderness” by becoming a volunteer Corridor Monitor. We will train you on the components of land stewardship and boundary maintenance and support you as you take on this independent volunteer task of adopting a parcel of conserved lands. Contact Land Stewardship Coordinator, Rowan Kamman, to learn more about the program ([email protected]).
