Snow Hill, MD — The Lower Shore Land Trust (LSLT) is calling on nature enthusiasts and community-minded individuals to step forward and help preserve the iconic landscapes of the Lower Eastern Shore. On February 21st, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, LSLT will host a Stewardship Training session at the Snow Hill Library (307 N. Washington St.), offering a unique opportunity for volunteers to make a lasting impact on the region’s natural environment.
Frank Deuter, Stewardship Coordinator at LSLT, emphasizes the critical role volunteers play in the organization’s mission. “Stewardship is the backbone of conservation,” he said. “Our volunteers are the eyes and ears on the ground, helping us protect the land we’ve worked so hard to conserve. Plus, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience to connect with nature and be part of something bigger than yourself.”
The training session will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of LSLT’s protected easement properties and the measures taken to preserve them for future generations. Volunteers will also learn how they can assist Deuter and his team during site visits to some of Delmarva’s most stunning, and often private, landscapes.
Since its founding, LSLT has conserved over 24,000 acres of working farms, wildlife habitats, and scenic vistas. As a small nonprofit, the organization relies on dedicated volunteers to monitor and maintain these protected areas. Deuter shared, “It’s a team effort. Every volunteer makes a difference, whether it’s monitoring an easement or simply sharing their enthusiasm for our mission.”
The Lower Shore Land Trust invites anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to make a difference to register for the February 21st session. “If you’ve ever wanted to get involved in conservation, this is your chance,” Deuter said. “We’d love to have you join us in protecting the places that make the Lower Shore so special.”
