Stewardship series is about bringing topics to the community about the environment, wildlife, and land management. There are several ways people can get enthusiastic about the environment and we want to provide those opportunities to let community members find an environmental niche and create stewards of the Earth.
Stewardship is defined as the conducting, supervising, or managing of something; or the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care (Merriam-Webster)
