Become A Nature Preserve Steward!

The pink lady slipper photo to the right was taken by Jim Benson, the Brower Lake Nature Preserve Steward.  Jim volunteers his time to regularly visit the preserve to make sure it is being properly cared for.  In addition, he assists with volunteer work days and the development of long-term management plans.  Please visit the Stewardship page or download the volunteer brochure to learn more about stewardship volunteer opportunities.
