Brochure Steward

Help Skagit Land Trust educate the public about its mission by becoming a Brochure Steward in your area.& Brochure Stewards will be responsible for stocking and maintaining the Skagit Land Trust brochure locations throughout the county. Each volunteer will be given an area in the county with a list of locations and a stock of brochures. We will also provide a map of the locations on the chosen route. As well as stocking the brochures, we would like volunteers to comment on each of the locations. For example, let us know if there are any locations that seem to be busier than others or if there are any locations you do not think are appropriate. We would also like any suggestions for new locations.

Time Commitment: Brochure Stewards should visit their locations four times a year in order to make sure the brochures are well stocked. The amount of time will depend on the route, but it should not take more than 3 hours to complete. The map provided should help make the route more efficient.

The different routes include: Anacortes–Downtown, Anacortes Area, Bow-Edison
Area, Burlington, Mount Vernon–College Way Area, Mount Vernon–Downtown
Area, La Conner–Conway, Sedro-Woolley–Lyman, and Concrete–Rockport–Marblemount. Please contact us about the availability of each route.

Volunteer Land Steward

Volunteer Land Stewards adopt one of Skagit Land Trust's properties and provide stewardship over a long period of time.& Volunteer Land Stewards act as eyes and ears for the Trust. They visit their property at least quarterly to see what has been happening in their absence. They periodically take photographs at designated points to document changes. They perform minor maintenance on the property, talk to neighbors, initiate investigations of encroachments, and report findings to the Trust staff.
