Land conservation and management: property management plans for fee-owned properties include identification of native and non-native species found on the properties, control of invasive species, and unique management requirements necessary for the protection of endangered, threatened, and species of special concern. Reduction of invasive species will allow for the reestablishment of a more resilient native ecosystem. In 2022, approximately 15,000 hours of active Land management occurred on the Trust's fee-owned properties, with a focus on habitat restoration and improvement. Management techniques and activities included prescribed fire, timber stand improvement and canopy reduction, mechanical removal of invasive species, native seed harvesting and seed spreading, and native shrub and tree planting.
