Stewardship Workshops Preview

The Raisin Cluster of the Southeast Michigan Stewardship Network (SMSN) is gearing up for another season of stewardship. Our goal is to teach people how to be better stewards of the land whatever their level of expertise. We hope to preserve the natural landscape, and work in partnership with nature so that future generations may enjoy the beauty of our landscape and relish our natural heritage.

If you are on our mailing list you will soon receive detailed information about this year's workshops; or check the SMSN web page (www.snre.umich.edu/stewardshipnetwork). For now you can mark your calendar for our first three workshops, starting in April. New this year, for anyone who is looking for a more in-depth understanding of a particular stewardship issue, is our Brown Bag Lunch Series. We will have a local expert on hand to discuss a topic in more detail. We look forward to seeing you soon.
