Seasonal Stewards monitored nearly 70 conserved properties this Summer!

As SELT has grown, so has the number of conservation easement properties we must monitor each year, to ensure conserved land is being well taken care of. SELT was lucky enough to have the help of two awesome Seasonal Conservation Easement Stewards this summer, Nick Lanzer and Allie Sliney.
