PLAN Jeffco Stewardship Academy – It’s Here!
PLAN Jeffco Academy Presents: Stewardship of Open Lands
Join us for our full-day Stewardship Academy. Learn how open space conservation started in Jefferson County, why such lands are important, and increase your understanding, appreciation, and stewardship of open lands.
PLAN Jeffco was the driving force behind development of the outstanding Jefferson County Open Space Program that serves so many. We want to help others to experience greater enjoyment and appreciation of open lands.
What will we talk about?
- The role of PLAN Jeffco’s volunteers in the origination and development of the Jefferson County Open Space Park System has resulted in preservation of more than 56,000 acres of public land to date.
- The history of land stewardship in Jefferson County.
- The geological and ecological significance of our open lands.
- Issues facing our ecosystems, especially along the Front Range, and how we can help address those issues.
- Ensuring that open space parks are welcoming for all visitors.
- How individual actions impact the land, other visitors, and maintenance needs and costs.
- How you can help ensure that our open lands remain healthy into the future.
