Stewardship of Native Plant Communities

VMS opportunity: AT: NGO Workshops and Programs on Wildlife Conservation and Land Stewardship

Stewardship of Native Plant Communities is a new class in the NPSOT Landscape Certification Program. There is no prerequisite for this program. It is not ecoregion specific, so the class can be taken when offered by any NPSOT chapter.

Summary

Learn how to assess and create a stewardship plan for your land. NLCP is a state-wide program, but classes focus on the characteristics and plants in the region in which they are taught.
