Do you have a love of your local open spaces and a keen eye? Help us preserve Barrington’s unique local scenic, historic and natural open spaces! Monitoring stewards are needed to help us monitor and report back on our 60 plus conserved properties in Barrington. Twice each year our stewards walk their site to check on its condition. Each visit takes an hour or less and can be done to fit your schedule. A simple checklist report is easy to fill out. No expertise required; no previous experience required. Simply complete it and return it by mail. Some monitoring stewards like to "adopt" their spot to keep trails clear and litter cleaned up - this is welcomed but completely optional. Can you carry a clipboard and pencil? Look at a map and walk around? Maybe you can take a few photos? Maybe you have access to a boat to monitor properties from the waterside? Don't have to be an expert; if you don't know or think we need to take a second look, just let us know. We have some basic materials explaining the process and we'd be happy to walk the site with you the first visit. You should be able to walk in a variety of terrain, wear appropriate outdoor clothing and shoes and bug spray. For more information, contact Helen Tjader at hhtjader@cox.net or 245-6209.
