Environmental stewardship transforms the individual into an agent for positive change within the natural systems that sustain them. Stewardship means tending or caring for the land. Thoughtful and consistent stewardship leads to:

• increased biodiversity,
• healthier ecosystems,
• improved water quality,
• climate change resilience,
• enhanced recreational opportunities, and
• a community brought together in their love of the land.

Best of all, through community-powered land stewardship the Earth that sustains us will be better able to support future generations. If you’re longing for a way to give back to the land, Pepperwood is a good place to find the knowledge and practical hands-on experience you need to get started.

On the first Saturday (except holidays) of every month, Pepperwood’s stewardship team facilitates these excellent community events. This is the best place to start your stewardship journey. You can strengthen your relationship with this land and your community by attending regularly and learning about the seasonality of stewardship. They’re open to anyone. Please let us know if you have any special considerations or accommodation needs. So go ahead and join us for a volunteer workday, and bring friends! We hope to meet you there.
